No. You'll end up with two smaller magnets, and each will have less than half the magnetic field strength of the original magnet.

When magnet broken in half each half is a magnet?
Yes, each half still has magnetic properties.
Give example of a temporary magnet?
when a magnet is hardly rubbed on a iron ,for some time it reacts as a magnet. An example of a temporary magnet is used in acar breakers yeard . A crane fitted with amagnet picks up a car and then the power to the magnet is cut and the car drops.
Cutting a bar magnet in two pieces produces?
Magnetic materials are notoriously hard so you will damage an ordinary hacksaw blade if you cit a bar magnet with a hacksaw (but you should eventually succeed if you do not mind dulling a few blades). An angle grinder with a metal cutting disk will work but magnetism is destroyed above the Curie temperature (about 500° C) so you should cool the magnet often as you cut through it (beware of sparks and bits flying off - wear protective clothing, ear and eye protection!).
Can a magnet still work through solid objects?
Depends on the solid object. Generally, yes. A magnetic material (steel, iron etc.) offers some shielding while a superconducting magnet offers I believe perfect shielding. Fridge magnets work just fine through paint, paper etc. It's the thickness of paper pushing the magnet away from the door that stop you holding up a book, not that the magnetic force is stopped by the paper.
What happens if a magnet gets wet?
Yes, a magnet will work under water. To cite one example, a magnet on a string out on the docks is sometimes used to retrieve car keys that tourists sometimes accidently drop into the water.
Will rod magnet still become a magnet when it cut across into thin slices?
yes.when you slice a rod magnet it will still be considered as a magnet
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.

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
My magnetic toe rings only have one magnet should they still work?
maybe not
Why would you still have north and south poles on a magnet if you cut it in half?
Because u make 2 magnets half the size of the original one.
Can you separate the poles of magnet?
No. If you cut a magnet in half, each part will still have a north pole and a south pole.Scientists have been trying to obtain "magnetic monopoles", pressumably some particle that has a "north charge" or a "south charge", but so far, without success.No. If you cut a magnet in half, each part will still have a north pole and a south pole.Scientists have been trying to obtain "magnetic monopoles", pressumably some particle that has a "north charge" or a "south charge", but so far, without success.No. If you cut a magnet in half, each part will still have a north pole and a south pole.Scientists have been trying to obtain "magnetic monopoles", pressumably some particle that has a "north charge" or a "south charge", but so far, without success.No. If you cut a magnet in half, each part will still have a north pole and a south pole.Scientists have been trying to obtain "magnetic monopoles", pressumably some particle that has a "north charge" or a "south charge", but so far, without success.
What happens to a bar magnet when it is cut in half?
The bar magnet becomes two smaller barn magnets.
If a bar magnet is cut into two halves the ends nearest the cut prove to have?
opposite poles
Can a Magnet work in any kind of liquid?
I think if you put a magnet in a liquid i think it is not going to work again. I think if you put a magnet in a liquid i think it is not going to work again.
Do magnets lose their power?
No.If you break the magnet, it is still a useful magnet.
How did a magnet become a magnet?
Ask a Mormon only they know how they work.
How does the magnet work in a fridge magnet?
look it up on the internet you
