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!).

∙ 14y agoTwo other bar magnets will be formed, the south pole will still have a north and the north
will still have a south, you see...the middle of a bar magnet consists of north and south poles mixed together so when split, two other magnets are formed.

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.
You are given a small plotting compass and three grey metal bars one is aluminum one is iron one is magnet how can i identify each one?
The bar that affects the compass is the magnet, The bar that is attracted to the magnet is iron, and the bar that is not attracted to the magnet is aluminum.
How could you make this bar magnet rotate without touching it?
by keeping another magnet or attractive force
How can you use a bar magnet and a length of string to make a compass?
Fill the container about half full of water. Float a leaf on the surface of the water, and float the needle on the leaf. That'll be a beautiful demonstration. I think I'll make one, and I thank you for the idea.
In which part of the magnet are magnetic forces strongest?
The magnetic field of a bar magnet is strongest at either pole of the magnet. It is equally strong at the north pole compared with the south pole. The force is weaker in the middle of the magnet and halfway between the pole and the center
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.
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.
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.
How many individual magnets are formed when a long bar magnet is broken into four unequal pieces?
7
Is a bar magnet magnetic?
A bar magnet is a magnet of rectangular shape with a north and and south end, which are sometimes coloured different colours to indicate which end is which.
Is there a scale for magnet strength?
They are bar magnet ,horse shoe magnet ,lime stone magnet.
Is bar magnet a natural magnet?
no
What happens to the bar magnet as it nears the U magnet the bar magnet will?
Move towards the U magnet so that the poles attach.
The use of bar magnet in chemistry?
The magnet bar is used for stirring solutions.
How is an electromagnet different a bar magnet?
a electromagnet is bigger than a bar magnet
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.
Is a magnet?
Yes, a bar magnet is magnetic.
