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

When you break an iron magnet into two pieces you get what?

You get two smaller magnets. Each piece will still have its own north and south poles, making them individual magnets.


If two magnets are attracted to one another and another two are repelling the two magnets that are being attracted can you move the 2 magnets by repelling it by the repelling magnet?

Yes. Just ensure the the like poles are facing each other. Like poles repel.The two magnets that are attracting are effectively one magnet.It would look like this:-([-magnet 1+]first pair attracting[-magnet 2+])++(+[magnet 1-]second pair repelling[-magnet 2+])+


How does force exerted by two magnets change as the magnets are moved farther apart?

The force exerted by two magnets decreases as they are moved farther apart. This is because the strength of the magnetic field weakens with distance. The force between two magnets follows an inverse square law relationship with distance.


Do they make an all negative magnet?

No, it is not possible to create an all-negative magnet because magnets have two poles - north and south. The concept of an all-negative magnet conflicts with the fundamental properties that define magnets.


Why Broken edges of a magnet repel each other?

That is because of magnetic domains. Magnetic domains represent the magnetism at a given spot in the form of a direction. If the all point, let's say, left, the magnet's south pole will be on the left. Ex: LLLL If we were to split this magnet, we'd get LL LL, which is simply two smaller magnets.

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.


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

it becomes to peices


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.


Can a magnet break glass if you put two magnets in between it?

That depends on the strength of the magnet and thickness of the glass.A regular magnet may work through a thin piece of glass, however a weak magnet will not work through a thick piece of glass.


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.


Can you cut a magnet and the magnet still work?

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


What happens to a bar magnet when it is cut in half?

Each half will become its own magnet with its own north and south poles. The resulting magnets will have a weaker magnetic field compared to the original bar magnet, as some of the magnetic domain alignment will be disrupted during the cutting process.


Is it possible to break a magnet into two pieces so one of the pieces has just one pole?

No, it is not possible to break a magnet into two pieces so that one piece has just one pole. Magnets always have two poles, one north and one south. Splitting a magnet would result in two separate magnets, each with its own north and south pole.


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.


What are the two magnets that push and pull in a motor?

The two magnets that push and pull in a motor are the stator magnet and the rotor magnet. The stator magnet is stationary and creates a magnetic field, while the rotor magnet is attached to the spinning rotor and interacts with the stator magnet to generate rotary motion.


If you break a magnet in half are 4 poles created like 2 normal magnets?

yes. Four poles are created like two normal magnets. if we further divide the 2 new magnets, we get 4 new magnets each with its own north pole and south pole.
