with an odd shaped magnet eg a cone .. apex = N / base = S
is the strength of the magnet the same at each pole ?
is the strength of the magnet the same at each pole ?
The north and south poles of a magnet refer to the two opposite ends of the magnet. The north pole is where the magnetic field lines exit the magnet, while the south pole is where the magnetic field lines enter the magnet.
The strength of a magnet's north pole is equal to its south pole. This is because magnetic poles always come in pairs, and the strength of each pole depends on the overall strength of the magnet.
No, a magnet cannot function without both a north and south pole. The two poles work together to create a magnetic field, which is what allows a magnet to attract or repel other magnetic materials.
Yes, there are some differences in the properties of the north and south poles of a magnet. For example, the north pole of a magnet will always point towards the Earth's geographic north pole, while the south pole will point towards the Earth's geographic south pole.
One way to determine which pole is the north pole and which is the south pole of a magnet is to use another magnet. The opposite poles of two magnets will attract each other, while the same poles will repel each other. Therefore, if the poles of the two magnets attract, they are opposite poles.
