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.

∙ 13y agoit will still have 2 poles and you will have 2 mini magnets the poles will still have force and you will die

∙ 13y agoMost of the cells in a magnet are polarized in the same direction so when you cut a magnet in half you have two magnets of half the overall strength of the original magnet.

Where is the magnetic force the greatest on a magnet?
The magnetic force of a magnet is strongest at its poles. This is because the field lines of the magnetic field are most concentrated at the poles where they enter and leave the magnet. At the poles the magnetic field is strongest and the force is the greatest. The north pole is where the magnetic field lines enter the magnet. The south pole is where the magnetic field lines leave the magnet. The magnetic field lines are most concentrated at the poles. The magnetic force is greatest at the poles.
What happens when you break a magnet in half?
The north and south poles would remain. The two new pieces would now have a north and a south. The magnet would still be magnetic, with its like poles repelling each other and its unlike poles attracting each other.
What is the pole of a magnet?
Law of Magnetic Poles: Opposite magnetic poles attract, similar magnetic poles repel.
Groups of atoms with aligned magnetic poles are called magnetic what?
Within a magnet, the separate poles are composed of domains, regions where the individual atoms are aligned with parallel magnetic moments.
On a bar magnet where are lines of magnetic force the greatest?
near both magnetic poles
What will happen to poles in a magnet when you cut a magnet in two?
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 into two pieces what happens to its magnetic poles?
Think of the two ples of a magnet like two sides of a coin. One cannot exist without the other.
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 happens if a direct current is put through a coil suspended between the poles of a magnet?
The coil will align itself with the magnetic field (poles) of the magnet.
Where is the magnetic force the greatest on a magnet?
The magnetic force of a magnet is strongest at its poles. This is because the field lines of the magnetic field are most concentrated at the poles where they enter and leave the magnet. At the poles the magnetic field is strongest and the force is the greatest. The north pole is where the magnetic field lines enter the magnet. The south pole is where the magnetic field lines leave the magnet. The magnetic field lines are most concentrated at the poles. The magnetic force is greatest at the poles.
What happens to the magnetic force as the distance between two magnet poles decreases?
It remains constant
Magnetic forces are the weakest at the poles of a mangnet.?
Magnetic forces are the strongest at the poles of the magnet. In the middle of the magnet, the magnetic force is minimal.
What is a poles of a magnet?
It is the points on the surface of a magnet at which magnetic forces are strongest.
Does a magnet contains a large number of magnetic domains or poles?
POLES
The magnetic field of a magnet is strongest?
near both its poles
What happens when you break a magnet in half?
The north and south poles would remain. The two new pieces would now have a north and a south. The magnet would still be magnetic, with its like poles repelling each other and its unlike poles attracting each other.
