Dipole magnet
Simplest type of magnet / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with magnetic dipole.
A dipole magnet is the simplest type of magnet. It has two poles, one north and one south. Its magnetic field lines form simple closed loops which emerge from the north pole, re-enter at the south pole, then pass through the body of the magnet. The simplest example of a dipole magnet is a bar magnet.[1]
