Yes, you actually do get two smaller magnets, and each has a north and south pole.

When you break an iron magnet into two pieces you get what?
Two smaller magnets.
How does force exerted by two magnets change as the magnets are moved farther apart?
When distance between two magnets decrease, the less magnet force the magnet has.
Can you have a unipolar magnet?
No. No matter how far you divide a magnet down, there will always be two poles: North and South. Well ; there is actually a domain in magnets which divides it into N and S. If the magnet is smaller than that, ie a few nanometers, then you can have unipolar magnets. In fact , such objects have been synthesized.
If two magnets are attracted to one another and another two are repelling the two magnets that are being attracted can you move the 2 magnets by repelling it by the repelling magnet?
Yes. Just ensure the the like poles are facing each other. Like poles repel.The two magnets that are attracting are effectively one magnet.It would look like this:-([-magnet 1+]first pair attracting[-magnet 2+])++(+[magnet 1-]second pair repelling[-magnet 2+])+
Why Broken edges of a magnet repel each other?
That is because of magnetic domains. Magnetic domains represent the magnetism at a given spot in the form of a direction. If the all point, let's say, left, the magnet's south pole will be on the left. Ex: LLLL If we were to split this magnet, we'd get LL LL, which is simply two smaller magnets.
When you break an iron magnet into two pieces you get what?
Two smaller magnets.
What happens to a bar magnet when it is cut in half?
The bar magnet becomes two smaller barn magnets.
If you break a magnet in half how does it become two magnets with two poles for each?
it becomes to peices
How does breaking a magnet change its magnetic properties?
There is no reversal of polarity when a magnet is broken. If you break a magnet, labeled N--S, into two, then you end up with two magnets of N--S and N--S.
When you break a magnet in half how many poles do the pieces have?
A bar magnet has two poles, a north and a south. When you break a bar magnet into to pieces, you create two bar magnets, each with a north and a south pole. So the total number of poles will then be four.

Can you cut a magnet and the magnet still work?
No. You'll end up with two smaller magnets, and each will have less than half the magnetic field strength of the original magnet.
What is true about magnets?
a magnet always has two poles
If you break a magnet in half what happens to the magnetic poles?
If you break a magnet in half, each half gains a new pole. For example, you are holding a magnet in both hands with the north magnetic pole in your left hand and the south magnetic pole in your right hand. You break the magnet in half. The half that is in your left hand gains a new south magnetic pole and the half that is in your right hand gains a new north magnetic pole.
If two magnets are attracted to one another and another two are repelling the two magnets that are being attracted can you move the 2 magnets by repelling it by the repelling magnet?
Yes. Just ensure the the like poles are facing each other. Like poles repel.The two magnets that are attracting are effectively one magnet.It would look like this:-([-magnet 1+]first pair attracting[-magnet 2+])++(+[magnet 1-]second pair repelling[-magnet 2+])+
Can a magnet break glass if you put two magnets in between it?
That depends on the strength of the magnet and thickness of the glass.A regular magnet may work through a thin piece of glass, however a weak magnet will not work through a thick piece of glass.
