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.

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 happens to a bar magnet when it is cut in half?
The bar magnet becomes two smaller barn magnets.
What happens to a magnet if you freeze it too much?
a magnet is a solid so you don't freeze it
When you rub a magnet with metal what happens to the metal object?
the metal object becomes a temporary magnet
What happens if you put a magnet in a drawer full of nails and the magnet doesn't pick any of the nails?
It's not magnetic
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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 when a magnet break?
nothing. It still is mangetized. hohohoh
What happens to a bar magnet when it is cut in half?
The bar magnet becomes two smaller barn magnets.
What happens when if you break a wishbone in thirds?
Then you didnt break it in half
When an atom break what happens to that atom?
The atoms will break into half :)
What happens when you break a bar magnet in half?
It doesn't split into N and S. It make two NS magnets. If you put them tiger again magnetically, it would be NSNS or N S.
If you break a magnet in half how does it become two magnets with two poles for each?
it becomes to peices
