No..It is not possible to break a magnet into a piece having a single pole..The earth has two poles and in order to divide a magnet of one pole it must be of pico size(10^-12) range or smaller.
So for every typical small piece you create, it will automatically form into a dipole or with two poles..
The magnetism of a permanent magnet is caused by the magnetic alignement of individual atoms in the crystal structure of the ferromagnetic material. You can break a magnet into thousands of pieces and each tiny piece is a magnet with north and south poles. Each piece will attract or repel any of the other pieces depending on how they are oriented to one another.
Yes, you actually do get two smaller magnets, and each has a north and south pole.
When a magnet cracks, it can lose its magnetic properties and strength due to the disruption of its internal structure. The fracture may cause the magnet to demagnetize partially or completely, depending on the extent of the damage. Additionally, the magnet may break into smaller pieces, which can each retain some magnetic properties but may not be as strong as the original magnet. In some cases, a cracked magnet can also pose a safety risk, as sharp edges may form.
You get two smaller magnets. Each piece will still have its own north and south poles, making them individual magnets.
To break into small pieces is to pulverize. If the substance is broken down far enough it will become powdered.
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.
No, magnets do not have the ability to break glass. Glass is not a magnetic material, so the force of a magnet is not strong enough to break it.
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.

You get a bunch of smaller magnets and you will still have north pole.
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.
Think of the two ples of a magnet like two sides of a coin. One cannot exist without the other.
Yes, you actually do get two smaller magnets, and each has a north and south pole.
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.
You can break it in any direction.
Break It to Pieces was created in 2004.
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.
