Poles and magnetic force

Bar magnet with field lines emerging from the north pole and entering the south pole, a compass aligned with the field, and two unlike poles attracting A magnet produces a magnetic field, so it can exert a non-contact force on magnetic materials and on other magnets. The magnetic effect is strongest at the poles, called north and south.
