Hint: The magnetic poles are the imaginary points that are located on opposite ends of the object. The end of the magnetic object that tries to align toward the North Pole of the Earth is called the north pole of the object, and the opposite point is called the south poles.

Complete answer:
The magnetic poles behave like electrical charges. The same poles repel each other, and opposite poles attract each other like positive and negative charges. The magnetic poles cannot exist independently, like positive and negative charges. The magnetic poles always exist in pairs while positive and negative charge exists separately. A diagram showing magnetic poles is shown below:

The region around the magnetic poles of the object in which the other objects experience magnetic effect is called the magnetic field. The strength of the magnetic object is called magnetic strength.

Therefore, the magnetic poles exist in pairs.

Additional information:
The magnetic poles exist not exactly at the ends of the magnets but slightly inside the ends. The distance between the poles is called the magnet's magnetic length, and the distance between ends of the magnet is called geometrical length.

Note: The magnetic moment of the magnets depends on the magnetic strength and magnetic length of the magnet. Always place magnets away from other magnets to prevent the loss of the magnetic strength of the magnet.
