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


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


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 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


Does a permanent magnet still work when the bottom of it is glued to wood?

Yes, a permanent magnet will still work when glued to wood. The magnetic field of the magnet will still extend beyond the wood, allowing it to interact with other magnetic materials. The only difference may be a slight decrease in the strength of the magnetic field due to the presence of the wood.


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.


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.

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.


Will a cut up float noodle still work?

Yes, but with less buoyancy.


Do magnets lose their power?

No.If you break the magnet, it is still a useful magnet.


How can you determine the magnet if you have one brass rod and another magnet in space?

Cut one in half, and see if the two bits attract or repel one another. If they do, you have cut the magnet. Otherwise the rod. If you are allowed other equipment, you don't need to cut anything. Make a coil, connect to a meter, and see which rod, when pushed in and out of the coil, induces a current.
