You may think that it will be twoseparatenorth and south poles, but the magnetic field is changing the ways, so when you do cut it in half, it will become twoseparatemagnets, each with twonorthand south poles.
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.
When you cut a horseshoe magnet in half, each half becomes a new magnet with its own north and south poles. This occurs because the magnetic domains within the material realign themselves to maintain the polarity. As a result, you'll end up with two smaller horseshoe magnets, each exhibiting the same magnetic properties as the original. The process of cutting does not eliminate the magnetism; instead, it redistributes the magnetic field.
When you cut a magnet in half, each half retains its own north and south poles. This happens because the magnetic domains within the material realign themselves to create a new north and south pole at each cut surface. As a result, you end up with two smaller magnets, each with a north pole and a south pole, instead of a single magnet with a disconnected pole.
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.
Nothing happens, except that now you have two magnets. The poles of a magnet are not actually localized at the two ends of the magnet but are inherent to the magnetic properties of the magnet. As the magnetic properties are not altered by a modification of the magnet such as cutting it in half, there will be no effect on the poles of 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.
Yes, cutting a magnet in half will make two magnets, one out of each half. The explanation of this lies in what gives the magnet its magnetic properties. When a magnet is made, small "volumes" of the metal matrix become magnets. These little spaces (called magnetic domains) are comprised of an atom or a few dozen atoms that have their magnetic axes aligned. The whole magnet is this way. That is why breaking it in half won't disrupt the vast majority of the magnetic domains. Each half of the broken magnet becomes a new magnet with a north and south pole.

You now have 2 bar magnets, each with half the magnetic force of the original.
When a bar magnet is broken in half, each piece becomes a new magnet with two poles: a north pole and a south pole. This occurs because the magnetic domains within each piece realign, ensuring that each segment maintains its magnetic properties. As a result, no matter how many times the magnet is divided, each piece will always have both a north and a south 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.
