I have a few questions about magnetics. Let's say I have 4 individual magnets of equal size.
1.) When all 4 individual magnets come together and are held together by their magnetic force do they form 1 whole magnet with two poles or do they remain individual magnetics each with their couple of poles?
2.) What exactly is it that determines that a magnet has only 2 poles? Is it the fact that their electrons are connected through the electron pool? Thats my guess.
3.) What determines which pole ends up where? Let's say I have a rectangular magnet.
N == S
What If I slice a thin strip of the end of the south pole? What determines whether the north pole of the strip will be at the top or bottom of the strip? I assume the poles of any rectangular magnet will be at either the top and bottom rather than the sides.
Sorry for the ****ty presentation of that question.
