What else can I help you with?
Will the North Pole of one magnet attract to the North Pole of another magnet?
No. Two like poles repel each other; two different poles (north and south) attract each other. (This has a certain similarity with the electrostatic attraction and repulsion. However, while there are certain relationships between electricity and magnetism, they should still be considered different forces.)
If you break a magnet do you get two smaller magnets?
Yes, you actually do get two smaller magnets, and each has a north and south pole.
Why the magnetic poles of a magnet cannot be separated?
The poles of a magnet are not separate entities. There is no fixed part of the magnet called the North Pole or the South Pole.In a magnet, the magnetic moments of all the individual atoms are acting in the same direction, from one end to the other. We name one direction as the North Pole and one as the South Pole.So, even if the magnet is broken, the magnetic moments are still aligned in the same direction, and each of the pieces have their own respective North and South Poles.Note: by convention, we name the poles in such a way that the moment is directed from the South Pole to the North Pole, inside the magnet.
Why does a broken magnet remain a magnet?
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
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. 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. 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. If you cut the magnet in half, each half will still have a north pole and a half pole.
If you broke a magnet in two would you have isolated north and south poles?
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.
How do you make a magnet with two south poles or north poles?
It is not possible to create a magnet with two south poles or two north poles. Both the poles always exist along with each other. Force 2 magnets together end to end with the south poles together. You will get a north pole at each end and a big south pole in the middle. This arrangement is called a quadrupole.
If you cut off the north pole of a magnet what happens to the remaining part?
it becomes a magnet in it s own right with north and south poles
Will the North Pole of one magnet attract to the North Pole of another magnet?
No. Two like poles repel each other; two different poles (north and south) attract each other. (This has a certain similarity with the electrostatic attraction and repulsion. However, while there are certain relationships between electricity and magnetism, they should still be considered different forces.)
Does every magnet necessarily have a north and a south pole?
Yes,every magnet has a north pole and a south pole.IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE SOUTH AND THE NORTH POLES :If you have a magnet and you make a line exactly in the middle you will see that one side is the north pole and the other one is a south pole . You can even experiment this : when you are done drawing a line cut your magnet by that line . Do you think that you will have two magnets and one of them is south pole and the other one is the north pole . Well no !!!!!! You will have two magnets but both of them have south and north poles.Now:Remember , you know this magnets attach to each other .But north pole and an other north pole will never attach to each other.And the same thing goes for the south poles. Two south poles will never atach.Only two different poles will attach to each other ( north and south will attach, and south and north will attach to each other as well).ALL magnets have one north pole and one south pole.
If you break a magnet do you get two smaller magnets?
Yes, you actually do get two smaller magnets, and each has a north and south pole.
Can you separate the poles of magnet?
No. If you cut a magnet in half, each part will still have a north pole and a south pole.Scientists have been trying to obtain "magnetic monopoles", pressumably some particle that has a "north charge" or a "south charge", but so far, without success.No. If you cut a magnet in half, each part will still have a north pole and a south pole.Scientists have been trying to obtain "magnetic monopoles", pressumably some particle that has a "north charge" or a "south charge", but so far, without success.No. If you cut a magnet in half, each part will still have a north pole and a south pole.Scientists have been trying to obtain "magnetic monopoles", pressumably some particle that has a "north charge" or a "south charge", but so far, without success.No. If you cut a magnet in half, each part will still have a north pole and a south pole.Scientists have been trying to obtain "magnetic monopoles", pressumably some particle that has a "north charge" or a "south charge", but so far, without success.

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 do the poles have to do with magnetism?
Every magnet has a north pole, and a south pole. Unlike electric charges, these can NOT be separated. If you cut a magnet into two smaller pieces, each one will still have a north pole and a south pole. Some theories predict that there should be "magnetic monopole" (isolated poles, that is), but so far, none have been found.
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.
What happens to the properties of a bar magnet if it were broken in thirds?
Each piece would become a separate magnet with its own two poles, just like the original bar magnet. Cutting a bar magnet does not eliminate its magnetic properties; each piece will still have a north and south pole.
