   Ralph,   
      
   There actually aren't any such thing as magnetic poles because magnetic   
   field lines are continuous circles through the magnet itself. What we   
   call magnetic poles are simply the denser field lines entering and   
   exiting magnetic materials.   
      
   The non-existence of magnetic poles is easily seen in the magnetic field   
   circling a current carrying wire which has no poles at all.   
      
   Electromagnetism is explained in detail in my book Universal Reality 2.0   
   available on Amazon under my name.
