All magnets have poles, there will be a north and south pole to every magnet.


Magnetic domains are clusters of atoms that are all aligned or oriented in the same fashion.
===This creates magnets which will have a large cluster of aligned atoms creating magnetic domains that will make poles on both sides of the clusters. To make these magnets align you can ether place metals in strong magnetic fields or you can stroke a piece of metal in one direction with a magnet to align the atoms. === 


 ===Magnets and Electric Fields strongly interact with each other. Magnetic Fields will align themselves with the flow of electricity through a wire. This is a picture of an electromagnet which uses the power of electric current to create magnetic force. ===



The Earth is so massive that it has its own magnetic field It is believed this is created by moving currents of charged lava in the Earths molten core.
 ===There are many theories but this is the most commonly held. The earths poles are not stable they switch from time to time and there was a period of time in early human existence when they were turned off altogether. ===
