Magnet shaped like a horseshoe, so both the polarities are pointed the same way. They can be weak or strong magnets (my dad had a couple when we were kids... we put a broomstick in them and did chin-ups from the I-beam in the basement, because they were strong enough to hold a 12-year-old's weight easily). Here is a site with a picture of some: http://www.indigo.com/magnets/gphmgnts/chrome-steel-horseshoe-magnets.html

∙ 9y agoWhat is horseshoe magnet called
A horseshoe looks like a (almost) semicircle. A (almost) semicircle magnet (north and south poles are bent so they face in the same direction) has been called a horseshoe magnet.

∙ 11y agoAny permanent magnet, irrespective of shape, has been treated so as to align groups of electrons to spin in the same direction. Normally, the electrons will have spin in random directions.
By aligning the electron spins, they have now created an aligned magnetic field.
All magnetic fields have the flow or the spin of electrons as their cause.
No moving electrons - no magnetic field.

Additional answer
The shape of a magnet has nothing to do with its strength. Horseshoe magnets are made so that both poles are roughly in the same position, whereas bar magnets have the poles some way apart. But they could both be of the same strength.

How do the iron filings behave when sprinkled over the bar or horseshoe magnet?
spread out from one pole and curve around to the other
How do you re energize a small magnet?
When a magnet is weak, you can do three things to try to recharge it. You can rub a stronger magnet across its surface, you can stack them tightly and in the same alignment, or you can place it on something that floats in water, remove it and strike it with a hammer. These methods are not guaranteed to work.
Show bar magnet horse shoe magnet dumb bell magnet etc.?
A dumbbell shaped magnet is called which type of magnet?
What is the difference between horse shoe magnet and U-shaped magnet ped magnet?
between a horse shoe magnet and u shaped magnet?
What happens to the bar magnet as it nears the U magnet the bar magnet will?
Move towards the U magnet so that the poles attach.
Why is horse shoe magnet called so?
The horseshoe magnet is called that because it is shaped like a horseshoe.
What happens when horseshoe magnets get attracted?
They make horseshoe magnet babies.
What is Difference of bar and horceshoe magnet?
A horseshoe magnet is curved.
How do you make a horseshoe magnet?
In general, magnets are brittle and will break before they bend. And yes, refrigerator magnets bend, but in them the magnetic material is powdered. But if we took a bar magnet and bent it, we'd have a horseshoe magnet. It's not quite that simple to make a horseshoe magnet, but it isn't too tough, either.
Meaning of horseshoe magnet?
The shape - U
Is there a scale for magnet strength?
They are bar magnet ,horse shoe magnet ,lime stone magnet.
Why is it inadvisable to make a horseshoe magnet from a flexible material?
A horseshoe magnet has a North pole one one of the feet and a south pole on the other. A magnet made of flexible material would collapse on itself as the two poles attract.
If suspended freely in which direction will horseshoe magnet will align?
yes it does
What direction does the needle on a compass point when a horseshoe magnet is put beside it?
The direction of the needle will remain unchanged. This is due to magnetic forces, the needle will remain in line with the lines of magnetic force which flow between the north and south poles.
Is a horseshoe electromagnet bar magnet or a magnet pole a example of a temporary magnet?
An electromagnet is temporary because the field disappears when the current is switched off.
What are different shapes of magnet?
Horseshoe, Bar, U, Ring, Circle, etc.
What happens when a switch is closed in an electrical circuit the wire between the poles of the horseshoe magnet deflects upward you can conclude that the left of the magnet is?
no
