Solution

(i) From the figure, it is clear that the ends of the magnet have more iron fillings attached to it. This is because the strength of a magnet lies more at the ends of the magnet.
(ii) The end regions of a magnetic are called poles. There are two poles in a magnet- North pole and South pole.
