DevinThere are 3 types of poles in science. A rotating sphere such as the planet Earth has two poles, which are where the rotation produces the minimum of motion, or which are where an imaginary axis of rotation emerges from the sphere. If an object is magnetic is has a magnetic north and south pole where lines of force can be imagined to emerge. And some objects such as water molecules have electrical poles, which are regions where there is either a positive or a negative charge.
