Yes, cutting a magnet in half will make two magnets, one out of each half. The explanation of this lies in what gives the magnet its magnetic properties. When a magnet is made, small "volumes" of the metal matrix become magnets. These little spaces (called magnetic domains) are comprised of an atom or a few dozen atoms that have their magnetic axes aligned. The whole magnet is this way. That is why breaking it in half won't disrupt the vast majority of the magnetic domains. Each half of the broken magnet becomes a new magnet with a north and south pole.
What else can I help you with?
What do you end up with if yuh cut a magnet in half?
Cutting a magnet in half will result in two smaller magnets, each with its own north and south poles. This happens because the magnetic properties are not lost when the magnet is cut.
What happens when you break a bar magnet in half?
Breaking a bar magnet in half creates two smaller magnets, each with a north and south pole. The poles are then found at the broken ends of each new magnet. Additionally, breaking the magnet does not affect the overall magnetic field strength of the original magnet.
What happens when a a bar magnet is cut in half?
You now have 2 bar magnets, each with half the magnetic force of the original.
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 happened to a bar magnet when broken in half?
Six. Every bar magnet has 2 poles. If a bar magnet is broken, each resultant piece will be a bar magnet in its own right.
What happens to a bar magnet when it is cut in half?
Each half will become its own magnet with its own north and south poles. The resulting magnets will have a weaker magnetic field compared to the original bar magnet, as some of the magnetic domain alignment will be disrupted during the cutting process.
What do you end up with if yuh cut a magnet in half?
Cutting a magnet in half will result in two smaller magnets, each with its own north and south poles. This happens because the magnetic properties are not lost when the magnet is cut.
Why would you still have north and south poles on a magnet if you cut it in half?
Even if you cut a magnet in half, each piece still retains its own north and south poles. This is because the magnetic field of a magnet is a property of the material itself, not just the shape of the magnet. Cutting it in half simply creates two smaller magnets instead of eliminating the magnetic properties.
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.
Breaking a bar magnet in half will produce?
2 new magnets
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.
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 in half how does it become two magnets with two poles for each?
it becomes to peices
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
How can you break a magnet with out breaking in in half?
Cutting a magnet in half can be done in a number of ways. A hack saw might work well (but the cuttings will stick to the magnet and the saw blade). Some magnets can actually be broken in half. But that leaves a "rough" end and is imprecise.
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.
What happens when you break a magnet in half?
Breaking a magnet in half does not result in two separate magnets. Instead, each piece becomes its own magnet with a north and south pole. The strength of the magnetic field in each piece may diminish depending on the quality and material of the original magnet.
