2pólos

2pólos is a term encountered in Spanish-language technical literature to describe a two-pole configuration. Depending on the field, it can refer to a physical arrangement with two magnetic or electrical poles, or more broadly to a system characterized by two distinct poles. In general, two-pole designs are contrasted with multi-pole configurations, which employ more than two poles for greater control, field strength, or selectivity.

In magnetism, a two-pole device typically refers to a dipole magnet with a north and a south pole. The magnetic field passes from the north to the south pole, and such magnets are common in compasses, magnetic sensors, and simple actuators. Two poles provide basic directional properties, but the field strength and uniformity are limited compared with higher-pole arrangements.

In electrical engineering and electronics, 2-pólos can denote components or devices with two electrical poles or two contact sets, such as two-pole switches, relays, or transformers. Two-pole configurations simplify wiring and operation, but can limit isolation and frequency response compared with multi-pole versions.

In mathematics and physics, poles are a type of singularity. A function may have multiple poles in its domain; a two-pole configuration means the function has two such singularities, each with its own order and residue. This usage is common in complex analysis and in applied fields that model with rational or meromorphic functions.

In other contexts, 2pólos may appear as a brand name, model designation, or shorthand for a specific two-pole design in engineering catalogs. When encountering the term, the intended meaning is best clarified by accompanying definitions in the text or diagrams.
