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.


Breaking a magnet will destroy the magnets magnetic properties. True or false?

True. when you heat a magnet you are supplying it with energy therefore the dipoles have enough energy to free themselves form their initial order.


Does the mass of an object change when you cut it into pieces?

No, the mass of an object remains the same when it is cut into pieces. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, so dividing it into smaller pieces does not change the total amount of matter present. Each piece will have a portion of the original mass.

A vendor cut pineapples in eights. After selling 27 pieces he had 13 pieces left. How many pineapples did he cut?

If the vendor cut the pineapples into eights, and after selling 27 pieces he had 13 pieces left, then he sold 27 + 13 = 40 pieces in total. Since each pineapple was cut into 8 pieces, the number of pineapples cut would be 40 pieces / 8 pieces per pineapple = 5 pineapples. Therefore, the vendor cut 5 pineapples.

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
