Magnetic Pole & Field Identification
What Are Magnetic Poles?
Magnetic poles are the regions at the ends of a magnet where its magnetic field is most concentrated. Every magnet has two poles: a north pole and a south pole. Opposite poles (north and south) attract, while like poles (north-north or south-south) repel. Understanding the behavior and location of these poles is essential for a wide range of magnetic applications.
How to Identify the Poles of an Unmarked Magnet
There are several effective methods to determine the poles of an unmarked magnet:
- Using a compass: A compass needle will point towards the magnet's south pole and away from its north pole.
- Using another magnet: Bring a marked magnet close to the unmarked one—opposite poles attract, and like poles repel.
- Using a pole tester: Use digital or basic pole identifiers to instantly determine the north and south poles of the magnet.
