What would happen to the magnetic field if the bar magnet were cut in half along the center line?
Each half would have a north pole and a south pole.
When a magnet splits why does the polarity change?
The polarity of a magnet does not change if the magnet is cut into pieces. Each piece has the same polarity that it had before. In particular, if you break a bar magnet in half at the midline between the two poles, you will end up with two magnets N-S and N-S. No reversal of polarity occurs.
What do you end up with if yuh cut a magnet in half?
a norh pole and a south pole
If you cut off the north pole of a magnet what happens to the remaining part?
it becomes a magnet in it s own right with north and south poles
Why are the poles of a bar magnet not situated at the extreme ends of the magnet?
The poles are situated at the ends of the bar magnet. The magnetic lines of force run through the magnet, emerge from one end, fold back around the length of the bar of the magnet, and curl back into the other end. The ends are the magnetic poles, and the magnetic lines of force emerge from one and re-enter the magnet at the other. You can see these lines by laying flat a piece of smooth paper over the magnet and sprinkling iron filings over the paper. Because they are light they will be easily moved into alignment by the magnetic field and will visually show the fields arrangement. (Using a piece of paper makes it easy to tidy up. Without it, the filings will stick to the magnet and be difficult to remove.)
What happens to a bar magnet when it is cut in half?
The bar magnet becomes two smaller barn magnets.

Does a compass only have a north pole?
No, being a magnet, it has a north pole and a south pole. The two can't be separated in a magnet. If you cut the magnet in half, each half will still have a north pole and a half pole.No, being a magnet, it has a north pole and a south pole. The two can't be separated in a magnet.

A bar magnet if cut in half consists of two magnets each with one south and one north pole this is evidence that the atoms of a magnet are like?
small magnets lined up north to south
What will happen to poles in a magnet when you cut a magnet in two?
Nothing happens, except that now you have two magnets. The poles of a magnet are not actually localized at the two ends of the magnet but are inherent to the magnetic properties of the magnet. As the magnetic properties are not altered by a modification of the magnet such as cutting it in half, there will be no effect on the poles of the magnet.
If a bar magnet is cut into two halves the ends nearest the cut prove to have?
opposite poles
What happens if a magnet in its domains all are aligned is cut in half?
You may think that it will be twoseparatenorth and south poles, but the magnetic field is changing the ways, so when you do cut it in half, it will become twoseparatemagnets, each with twonorthand south poles.
What would happen to the mass of a candy bar if it was cut in half?
If a candy bar was cut in half the mass would decrease.

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.
If aluminum bar is cut in half What is the density of each half compared to the original density of the bar?
It is going to need to be divide by the original density and then after you find that out you get your answer.
