Why do opposites attraced on a magnet?

A magnet has two poles, called North and South. Take two magnets and stick the ends together. You'll find N-S and S-N stick together (attract). N-N and S-S push apart (repel).


What are the poles on a magnet?

One pole in a magnet which is n stands for north , and the other pole on a magnet which is s , stands for south. Those are the two poles on a magnet.


How does breaking a magnet change its magnetic properties?

Breaking a magnet into smaller pieces weakens its overall magnetic field, as each piece becomes a separate magnet with its own north and south poles. The smaller magnets may have different magnetic strengths and orientations compared to the original magnet.


Why does a bar magnet placed in S-N direction turn towards N-S direction when torque acting on it is zero?

If the bar magnet turned then there was a torque acting upon it. Torque is defined as a turning force or moment.


Why do magnets make a N and S pole when you break a magnet?

When you break a magnet, the regions where the break occurred become the new North and South poles. This is because the magnetic domains within the magnet align themselves in a way that creates these distinct poles at the broken ends.


Why does a magnet attract an iron nail to either of its poles but attracts another magnet to only one of its poles?

it has no north or south end its neutral so it goes to both but other magnet has both N & S so it only connects to others N & S so = nail=E mag = N & S so E=N & S but S=N & E so S only goes to the N side of the magnet


If you break a bar magnet in half would it repell or attrack?

The ends of a bar magnet broken in two will still attract one another. Imagine a bar magnet with a north magnetic pole and a south magnetic pole: N----------------S Now imagine that the magnet is broken in the middle: N-------//--------S The two existing poles cannot change, but neither is it possible to have a North pole without a south, or vice-versa, so the separated parts will now look like this: N-------S N--------S The south pole of the leftmost section sits next to the North pole of that on the right, and they will be attracted to one another.


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.


Where are the poles of a disc magnet located?

It depends on the magnet, most of them have poles on the flat faces, but some magnets are magnetised on the outside diameter. this means that if you draw a line across the flat face, the south pole is on one side and the north pole on the other side


Why do magnet get new poles when you break them?

This is a somewhat tricky question to answer. But you can basically imagine a magnet to be made up of a large amount of "elementary magnets", all of which have a north and a south pole, like this:(N---S) (N---S) (N---S) (N---S) The combined magnetic field is the combination of each of the individual magnetic field; and since each of those point in the same direction, in this case north to the left, the combined magnetic field will also have north to the left. If you break the magnet up, you will get smaller pieces, but the "elementary magnets" will still point in the same direction.


When a magnet splits why does the polarity change?

The polarity of a magnet does not change if the magnet is cut into pieces. Each piece has the same polarity that it had before. In particular, if you break a bar magnet in half at the midline between the two poles, you will end up with two magnets N-S and N-S. No reversal of polarity occurs.


Which poles on a magnet will repel?

Like poles repel, opposites attract. So a N pole of one bar magnet will repel the N pole of another bar magnet. And the same applies to two S poles.
