Magnets do not have electrostatic charge, unless you specifically charge one up. Magnetic field is different from electrostatic charge.

Magnets aren't charged. Magnets have nothing to do with an imbalance of positive charges and negative charges.
As for if you make a magnet out of a spherical object...NO MATTER WHAT FLAVOR IT IS...it will have BOTH a north pole AND a south pole at some pair of points on its surface.
There are NO MAGNETIC MONOPOLES. AND, the magnet's polarity IS NOT linked to the solid object shape. The polarity of a magnet is linked to its history of magnetic fields that occurred when it cooled from being molten.
