Question

What must a magnet always have?

Answer 1

Answer:

Every magnet has both a North and a South pole. When you place the North pole of one magnet near the South pole of another magnet, they are attracted to one another. When you place like poles of two magnets near each other (North to North or South to South), they will repel each other.

Answer 2

Answer:

All magnets, regardless of their shape or application, must have two poles, the north pole (N) and the south pole (S), which are called magnetic poles.

Explanation:

Magnets are ferromagnetic materials that have the property of attracting or repelling other magnets. In addition, it is characteristic for materials of this nature (ferromagnetic) to be strongly magnetized in the presence of a magnetic field.

All magnets, regardless of their shape or application, must have two poles, the north pole (N) and the south pole (S), which are called magnetic poles. Another important characteristic of magnets is the inseparability of the magnetic poles, that is, it is not possible to find a magnet with only the north pole or only with the south pole. Thus, when a magnet is broken, it will give rise to two new magnets and the polarity of these new magnets will depend on the way in which it partitioned.
