If we take a magnet in the shape of a perfect cube.its one side will act as north pole and teh other side as south pole.Then what will be the polarities of other four sides?
How will you decide which 3 adjacent sides of cube are north pole or south pole?
Will those sides attract each other if another cube magnet is placed mear it?

the ans is quite clear the other 4 faces have no particular poles

drawing field lines makes it clear

The same fields occur to the cube shaped magnet,bcos of the property of the permanent magnets.

I think the picture explains.

A special case of a normal bar magnet

So what is the answer?

hey let me see........if you are saying that a particular face is a pole and taking about the polarity of other faces ,then u are actually concluding that the edge acts as a boundary tothe polarity........

actually thesolution was partly given by"msp" and "subhash"...it will behave as a bar magnet .......whatever its dimensions be!!!
