Question

If a magnet is broken into two pieces, what happens to the magnetic poles? One piece will have a north pole, while the other piece will have a south pole. Each piece will still have a north pole and a south pole. Each piece will have only a north pole. Both pieces will no longer have any magnetic poles.

Answer 1

If a magnet is broken into two pieces, each piece
will still have a north pole and a south pole.

Answer 2

In the situation of a magnet being fragmented into two pieces, the magnetic poles would be as follows:

B). Each piece will still have a north pole and a south pole.

• When we break a magnet, each new piece reinforces the magnetic field of the other.
• Each one has a north and south pole. The newly cut faces will become the new north and south poles of the smaller pieces.
• However, the north or south pole feature remains the same even for the tiniest piece of the magnet, yet the magnetic field decreases with the decreasing size of the magnet.

Thus, option B is the correct answer.
