the magnet will repel
South Pole of another Magnet or towards the South Pole of the Earth
North and South (Poles) :)
One Contributors OpinionIn 2012 the next polar reversal will take place on earth. This means that the North Pole will be changed into the South Pole. Scientifically this can only be explained by the fact that the earth will start rotating in the opposite direction, together with a huge disaster of unknown proportions.
A freely suspended magnet will align itself in the north-south direction due to Earth's magnetic field. The north pole of the magnet will point towards the geographic north pole, and the south pole will point towards the geographic south pole.
The magnet would align itself with the Earth's magnetic field and point in a north-south direction. This is because magnets have a property called magnetization that causes them to align with the magnetic field lines.
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.
No, breaking a magnet in two does not isolate the north and south poles. Each resulting piece would still have its own north and south poles. A magnet will always have both north and south poles regardless of its size or shape.
opposites attract so they would pull together
South Pole of another Magnet or towards the South Pole of the Earth
If a bar magnet is cut in half along the center line, each resulting piece would become its own magnet with its own set of north and south poles. The magnetic field around each piece would be similar to that of a single bar magnet.

If there is a magnet beside a compass, the compass needle would be influenced by the magnetic field of the magnet rather than Earth's magnetic field. The needle would point towards the opposite pole of the magnet, so if the magnet's north pole is beside the compass, the compass needle would point towards the south.

If a bar magnet is broken in half, each piece will become its own smaller magnet with its own north and south poles. The strength of each magnet will be weaker compared to the original bar magnet. The overall magnetic field will be distributed between the two smaller magnets.

of course it would be rejected
