What do you meant by the term pole of a magnet? Magnetically speaking, what is the difference between a piece of brass, a piece of soft iron, and a piece of lode- stone?

उत्तर
Pole of a magnet: Each end of a bar magnet is called its pole. The point situated slightly inside a bar magnet, where most of its magnetic power is concentrated, is called magnetic pole or pole of a magnet.
Brass is not a magnetic substance and it is not affected by a magnetic field. It does not stick to a magnet.
Soft iron is a ferromagnetic substance and gets strongly attracted to a magnet. Soft iron can not attract other magnetic substances unless gets magnetized.
Lode stone is a naturally magnetized piece of mineral magnetite. It can attract other magnetic substance.
