    Regions at each end of a magnet where the external magnetic field is strongest are called magnetic poles. A north magnetic pole is the end of a magnet that points north when suspended, while a south magnetic pole points south. Magnetic poles of opposite polarity attract each other, while like poles repel according to an inverse square law, where doubling the separation between poles reduces the magnetic force to one-fourth its original value.

    magnetic pole, region at each end of a 

    magnet where the external magnetic field is


    strongest. A bar magnet suspended in Earth’s magnetic field orients itself in a north–
    south direction. The north-seeking pole of such a magnet, or any similar pole, is called a
    north magnetic pole. The south-seeking pole, or any pole similar to it, is called a south
    magnetic pole. Unlike poles of different magnets attract each other; like poles repel each
    other.
    The magnetic force between a pole of one long bar magnet and that of another was
    described by an inverse square law as early as 1750. If, for example, the separation
    between the two poles is doubled, the magnetic force diminishes to one-fourth its
    former value.
