You get a bunch of smaller magnets and you will still have north pole.

What do mechanical and chemical weathering have in common?
What mechanical and chemical weathering have in common is they both break rocks down into smaller and smaller pieces. Eventually the weathered rock will be eroded.
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.
What happens if you put a magnet on a lamp?
It depends on the type of lamp and the strength of the magnet. An incandescent lamp works literally by running current through the filament to heat it. Parts of the bulb might be magnetic, so if the magnet were ridiculously powerful it might deform or break them. Fluorescent and Neon lamps use ionization, so although I haven't tried it, I'd bet a reasonably strong magnet might affect them. If you have an old CRT-based television or computer monitor you can see how this works by placing a magnet near it -- note, this can cause permanent effects to the picture quality, so either keep the magnet at a distance where the effect is minimal or use a CRT you don't care about. LED lamps are so small and well-constructed that I think they're more like incandescent lamps -- a really powerful magnet might damage them, but otherwise is unlikely to affect them.
Will a compass break?
If you smash it with a hammer, drop it off a high cliff or otherwise mechanically destroy it, yes it will break. You can also cause it to cease to function correctly by altering the magnet in the compass tip.
What was cubism all about?
Cubism is about getting a picture or more than one picture and smash the picture, like when you break a mirror. With all of your picture pieces you can change the shape just a little bit and put the pieces together. Some pieces could overlap each other some can be smaller some can be bigger. Cubism is like abstract painting which inside the picture could be something but you kind of show your picture in a different way and that it looks like a beautiful piece of art in the end.
When you break an iron magnet into two pieces you get what?
Two smaller magnets.
If you break a magnet into two pieces what happens to its magnetic poles?
Think of the two ples of a magnet like two sides of a coin. One cannot exist without the other.
What happens when you smash?
Pyrite is brittle and non-malleable. It will break into smaller pieces along cleavage planes.
If a bar magnet is broke in the middle and pieces are held near why do they repel did the bar magnet pieces flip poles when it broke?
sort of. magnetic fields in a bar magnet always run south to north. if you break it in half, that same S-->N direction still applies. in fact if you were to break it up into smaller & small pieces you would still have that relationship. that is to say, you wouldn't have a north only piece and a south only piece.
If we put pressure on ice then how can it melt?
Putting pressure on ice can melt it by helping to break it up into smaller pieces, as happens when ice is crushed. Smaller pieces have greater surface area that can be exposed to warmer air.
How rocks break to smaller pieces?
By weathering.
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.
If you break a magnet into four pieces what will be the magnetic properties of each piece?
Ferro
What happens when a magnet break?
nothing. It still is mangetized. hohohoh
When weathering grinding wind ice and water break rocks down into smaller pieces what are the smaller pieces called?
Sediment
When you break the magnet then why they repls?
The magnetism of a permanent magnet is caused by the magnetic alignement of individual atoms in the crystal structure of the ferromagnetic material. You can break a magnet into thousands of pieces and each tiny piece is a magnet with north and south poles. Each piece will attract or repel any of the other pieces depending on how they are oriented to one another.
What happens when you mix water with pyrite?
Pyrite is brittle and non-malleable. It will break into smaller pieces along cleavage planes.
