Question

Poles of a bar magnet are located _______.

• A. at two extreme ends of the magnet
• B. at the center of the magnet
• C. at one of the end, together
• D. outside the bar magnet

Answer 1

The correct option is A at two extreme ends of the magnet

A bar magnet consists of two poles. The poles are always apart and always located at two extreme ends of the magnet. If we cut a bar magnet into two pieces, then each of them will have two poles at the extreme ends. Hence we always have two poles at the extreme ends of a bar magnet.
