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.

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.
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.

Why would you still have north and south poles on a magnet if you cut it in half?
Even if you cut a magnet in half, each piece still retains its own north and south poles. This is because the magnetic field of a magnet is a property of the material itself, not just the shape of the magnet. Cutting it in half simply creates two smaller magnets instead of eliminating the magnetic properties.
Do opposite ends of a magnet attract or repel?
Then you will end up with two magnets, each half will be a new magnet, with both a north and a south pole. But the magnet will be weaker.
How can you break a magnet with out breaking in in half?
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
What would happen to the magnetic field if the bar magnet were cut in half along the center line?
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.
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.
If you break a magnet in half how does it become two magnets with two poles for each?
it becomes to peices
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 happened to a bar magnet when broken in half?
Six. Every bar magnet has 2 poles. If a bar magnet is broken, each resultant piece will be a bar magnet in its own right.
When a magnet splits why does the polarity change?
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.
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.
