What happens when magnet is broken in half?

when a magnet breaks in half on one side the broken side turns into the negative side and the unbroken side stays posotive ( works vice versa) so the point is you get two complete magnets.


Why magnetic objects attracts to only one side of a magnet?

They are the opposite polarity to the side of the magnet they are attracted to.


Where are the poles on a fridge magnet?

The poles on a spherical magnet are at the positive side and the negative side. Just like that of our earth which has both a north and south pole. The magnetic field is described as loops going from the north pole too the south pole, just as a normal bar magnet would behave. However a spherical electromagnet can be made such that the poles are constantly changing and never in one spot for too long. The answer to your question is impossible without more information or experimentation with the magnet. An easy way to test which is north and south is to hang the magnet on a string and then positively or negatively charge a nylon rod by rubbing a material on it(google which will make it negative or positivel) and hold it near all the sides. One side will be repulsed then that would be the sign of whatever the rod is charged with. I hope that this long winded answer helps.As a note north is positive and south is negative


What side is a magnet stronger?

The two sides of a magnet are called the north and south poles. Typically, the magnet is stronger at its poles rather than its sides. The strength of a magnet is usually concentrated at the poles, where the magnetic field lines are closer together and more forceful.

A magnet has both a positive side and a negative side. can you just have a magnet that is positive?

No, no matter what, magnets have poles. In other words, magnets will always have a positive and negative side. If you cut you magnet in half, those two new magnets will both have + and - sides. Do this infinity times until you have a magnet 1 atom thick. The atom will still have a positive and negative pole. Hope this helps.

Why do poles on a magnet attract and repel?

Poles on a magnet attract or repel because of the way the electrons line up. The electrons in the valence shells tend to line up on one side of the nucleus. The electrons have a negative charge and the nucleus has a positive charge. The negative charges in one magnet repel the negative charges in another magnet but attract the positive charges in another magnet.

How do you find division ladder with negative expression?

It doesn't matter if the expression is negative, the greatest common factor will still be positive, since you only count the left side of the ladder. When the left side is mutiplied together, it will be positive, because the negative side is on the right side. Therefore, just keep dividing the negative, but it will not affect the common factor


Can one north side of a magnet attract to another north side?

No, the north side of a magnet only attracts to the south side of another magnet.
