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 will happen when a piece of bar magnet is broken into a few smaller pieces?
by the force of attraction in magnet their pieces will re join wd each other. All the broken pieces will become separate individual magnets.
When magnet broken in half each half is a magnet?
Yes, each half still has magnetic properties.
What is the scientific name of a magnet?
magnet :)
What is a lifting magnet?
A lifting magnet is an electromagnet that is meant to hold or move material that comes in contact with the magnet. This is the opposite of a traction magnet.
What kind of substance attract magnet?
a magnet Actually named magnetite, but it is a natural magnet.
How can you separate the mixture of a broken jar of pins?
Grab a magnet. The magnet should pick the pins up and leave the broken glass behind
What is the difference between soft and hard magnets?
A soft magnet's magnetic field can be broken easily. A hard magnet's magnetic field can not be broken easily.
Will the permanent magnet broken into two pieces attract each other on the broken sides?
no as the broken will repeal as they form same poles
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.
Do opposite ends of a magnet attract or repel?
Then you will end up with two magnets, each half will be a new magnet, with both a north and a south pole. But the magnet will be weaker.
What is the password for the magnet on club penguin for the broken clock mission?
key
How the properties of a bar magnet would change if it were broken in half?
The magnet would still have a north and a south pole. No matter how small the magnet is it will always have a north and south pole.
What happens to a magnet force when a bar magnet is cracked through the middle?
If a bar magnet is broken in half, each half is a magnet with its own north and south pole. The force used to break the magnet will also tend to partially demagnetize the magnet, although that might be a minor effect.
What happens to the properties of a bar magnet if it were broken in thirds?
Nothing happens to properties because if it broken it still has north pole and south pole. Even if magnet broke into smallest piece it would still have same property.
How does breaking a magnet change its magnetic properties?
There is no reversal of polarity when a magnet is broken. If you break a magnet, labeled N--S, into two, then you end up with two magnets of N--S and N--S.
Why do magnets make a N and S pole when you break a magnet?
Because in a permanent magnet, there is always a magnetic field, if the permanent magnet is broken, and didn't have a S and a N, then magnetism would cease to exsist.
Why does a broken magnet remain a magnet?
It is so far experimentally impossible to separate the North Pole from the South Pole. Even if you cut the magnet into little pieces, it'll still remain a magnet because there will still be a North pole and a South Pole
