The geographic poles are the North Pole and the South Pole. They lie where the earth's imaginary axis of rotation intersects the planet. The magnetic poles correspond to the positions wher the earth's magnetic field dips directly down into or up from the Earth's surface. The ~north magnetic pole is in canada, the south magnetic pole is near Australia.

An electrical connection point. In a panel, the point of connection. On a device, the terminal that connects to the power.

A portion of a filter circuit. The more poles a filter has, the more abrupt its cutoff slope will be. Each pole causes a slope of 6dB per octave; typical filter configurations are two-pole (12dB/oct) and four-pole (24dB/oct). See rolloff slope.

Markers at measured distances around the track designating the distance from the finish. The quarter pole, for instance, is a quarter of a mile from the finish, not from the start.
