The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Concept of Magnetic Poles**: - A magnet is an object that produces a magnetic field. This magnetic field has specific regions called poles. 2. **Identifying the Types of Poles**: - Every magnet has two distinct poles: the North Pole and the South Pole. These poles are where the magnetic force is strongest. 3. **Types of Magnets**: - Magnets come in various shapes, such as bar magnets, cylindrical magnets, and horseshoe magnets. Regardless of the shape, each magnet will always have two poles. 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the total number of poles in any magnet is always two: one North Pole and one South Pole. 5. **Final Answer**: - The correct answer to the question "How many number of poles of magnet are there?" is **2**.
