Question
Identify whether the following statement is true or false. Some magnets only have a north pole but no south pole.
Solution
The statement is false. All magnets have both a north and a south pole. This is due to the nature of magnetic fields, which always flow from the north to the south pole. Even if a magnet is cut in half, each piece will still have a north and a south pole.
