Our experts often get questions regarding magnets and how they work. From how North and South work to how that applies to the different ranges. With is in mind, we have broken down all the key bits of information, along with the frequently asked questions our experts get asked, in order to help your understanding on the world of magnets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are Poles?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every Magnet has at least two magnetic poles, one NORTH and one SOUTH and\na magnetic field flows continuously from NORTH to SOUTH. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are there any differences between North and South?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from the fact that they are opposite poles, there are no difference between North and South. There is an assumption that North is the better pole out of the two, but a North pole has the same attracting force as a South pole when attracting Ferromagnetic materials.
