Cutting a magnet in half can be done in a number of ways. A hack saw might work well (but the cuttings will stick to the magnet and the saw blade). Some magnets can actually be broken in half. But that leaves a "rough" end and is imprecise.

What are the parts of a magnet and the effect of breaking a magnet?

parts of a magnet-1. north pole2. south polethe breaking of a magnet form new magnets.when breaking is done along the axis ,pole strength decrease and along perpendicular axis it does not change.


If you break a magnet do you get two smaller magnets?

Yes, you actually do get two smaller magnets, and each has a north and 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 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.

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.


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.

What is the direction for if want to break a magnet in half to make some piece of magnet?

You can break it in any direction.


If you break a magnet in half what happens to the magnet?

If you break a magnet in half, each half gains a new pole. For example, you are holding a magnet in both hands with the north magnetic pole in your left hand and the south magnetic pole in your right hand. You break the magnet in half. The half that is in your left hand gains a new south magnetic pole and the half that is in your right hand gains a new north magnetic pole.


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.


What happens to the poles if you break the magnet in half?

If you break a magnet in half, each half gains a new pole. For example, you are holding a magnet in both hands with the north magnetic pole in your left hand and the south magnetic pole in your right hand. You break the magnet in half. The half that is in your left hand gains a new south magnetic pole and the half that is in your right hand gains a new north magnetic pole.


Breaking a bar magnet in half will produce?

2 new magnets


If you were to break the magnet in your sketch in half what would happen?

I don't see any sketch. But if you break a magnet in two, each part will be a magnet with its own north and south pole.


When magnet broken in half each half is a magnet?

Yes, each half still has magnetic properties.


If you break a magnet in half what happens to the magnetic poles?

If you break a magnet in half, each half gains a new pole. For example, you are holding a magnet in both hands with the north magnetic pole in your left hand and the south magnetic pole in your right hand. You break the magnet in half. The half that is in your left hand gains a new south magnetic pole and the half that is in your right hand gains a new north magnetic pole.


How do you break out of a circle without breaking it?

when u get half way to the wall you fold it and you can break out


If you break a magnet in half how does it become two magnets with two poles for each?

it becomes to peices


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 happens when you break a magnet in half?

Breaking a magnet in half does not result in two separate magnets. Instead, each piece becomes its own magnet with a north and south pole. The strength of the magnetic field in each piece may diminish depending on the quality and material of the original magnet.
