It is so far experimentally impossible to separate the North Pole from the South Pole. Even if you cut the magnet into little pieces, it'll still remain a magnet because there will still be a North pole and a South Pole

Can a magnet be broken?

Not exactly. All pieces of the magnet retain their ferrous properties, but if they were (for example) dropped, then the shock of the fall could potentially make them lose a bit of magnetism. Extreme temperature changes and high power electric discharges could also decrease the power of the magnet.


What happens when you break a magnet?

As you break a magnet, the remnant (broken piece) shall still remain a magnet with the same properties and poles. However, there is only so far a magnet can be broken. Visualize a magnet. Now imagine to have a knife that would keep cutting the magnet into half. It will reach a point that cutting the 'magnet' further would yield into a particle with no magnetic charge whatsoever. This is called a magnetic domain. Cutting a magnetic domain further would yield into a charge-less particle as it would be obviously incorrect to state that an atom of a magnetized steel bar would still remain a magnet.


What will happen when a piece of bar magnet is broken into a few smaller pieces?

by the force of attraction in magnet their pieces will re join wd each other. All the broken pieces will become separate individual magnets.


How can you separate the mixture of a broken jar of pins?

Grab a magnet. The magnet should pick the pins up and leave the broken glass behind


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.


Will steel nails that are joined by a magnet remain joined if the magnet is removed?

In general, steel nails will not remain "joined" if a magnet touching them is removed. It is important to note that nails affected by a magnet retain a weak "impression" of the field and remain slightly magnetic. But the magnetic field "impressed" on the nails will be quite small and will not hold the nails together once the magnetic is removed.


Will the permanent magnet broken into two pieces attract each other on the broken sides?

no as the broken will repeal as they form same poles


How the properties of a bar magnet would change if it were broken in half?

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.


What is the password for the magnet on club penguin for the broken clock mission?

key


How can one retrieve a broken key from a lock without the use of any tools?

One way to retrieve a broken key from a lock without using tools is to try using a magnet to pull the broken key out. If the key is magnetic, you can try sliding a magnet along the keyway to attract and pull out the broken piece.


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.


Why do magnets make a N and S pole when you break a magnet?

When you break a magnet, the regions where the break occurred become the new North and South poles. This is because the magnetic domains within the magnet align themselves in a way that creates these distinct poles at the broken ends.
