2. South pole

5.Artificial magnets: The magnets are made from iron piece are known as artificial magnets.

(3)       Cylindrical magnet

(4)        ball-ended magnet

8. Properties of magnet: Properties of magnet:-

1. It attracts magnetic material like iron, nickel, and cobalt.
2. Opposite poles of two magnets attract each other whereas similar poles repel one another.

9. Poles of a bar magnet located: The poles of a bar magnet are located at its two ends.
