Past Then and Now
What else can I help you with?
Can a magnet be broken?
Not exactly. All pieces of the magnet retain their ferrous properties, but if they were (for example) dropped, then the shock of the fall could potentially make them lose a bit of magnetism. Extreme temperature changes and high power electric discharges could also decrease the power of the magnet.
What would happen if food molecules Wern't broken down into smaller pieces?
Then the food wouldn't process through your body.
What would happen to a magnet if it was in the air?
It falls.
What would happen when a magnet meet to the south and south and north and north?
the magnet will repel
What would happen if you broke the styrofoam up into lots of pieces then threw the pieces into water?
What would happen if you broke the Styrofoam up into lots of pieces, then threw the pieces into water?
If you cut a magnet into very small pieces you just have north and south poles which one would it be?
No, not true. If you cut a magnet into pieces, each piece has both north and south poles. Doesn't matter how big or small the pieces are.
How the properties of a bar magnet would change if it were broken in half?
If a bar magnet is broken in half, each piece will become its own smaller magnet with its own north and south poles. The strength of each magnet will be weaker compared to the original bar magnet. The overall magnetic field will be distributed between the two smaller magnets.
What would happen if you hit or drop a magnet?
it loses its magnetic properties
What happens when you break a magnet?
As you break a magnet, the remnant (broken piece) shall still remain a magnet with the same properties and poles. However, there is only so far a magnet can be broken. Visualize a magnet. Now imagine to have a knife that would keep cutting the magnet into half. It will reach a point that cutting the 'magnet' further would yield into a particle with no magnetic charge whatsoever. This is called a magnetic domain. Cutting a magnetic domain further would yield into a charge-less particle as it would be obviously incorrect to state that an atom of a magnetized steel bar would still remain a magnet.
If you were to break the magnet in your sketch in half what would happen?
I don't see any sketch. But if you break a magnet in two, each part will be a magnet with its own north and south pole.
What happens to the properties of a bar magnet if it were broken in thirds?
Each piece would become a separate magnet with its own two poles, just like the original bar magnet. Cutting a bar magnet does not eliminate its magnetic properties; each piece will still have a north and south pole.
What would happen if you put magnet next to a compass?
The compass needle would be affected by the magnetic field from the nearby magnet. The needle would align itself with the magnetic field of the magnet, causing the compass to point in a direction different from true north.
