    What is the name of both ends of a magnet?

    Question #70666. Asked by 77nellie. (Sep 12 06 4:22 PM)

    		The lines of magnetic flux flow from one end of the object to the other. By convention, we call one end of a magnetic object the N or North-seeking pole and the other the S or South-seeking pole, as related to the Earth's North and South magnetic poles. The magnetic flux is defined as moving from N to S.
