When a bar magnet (one with Npole n the other with S pole) is broken into 2 pieces, wat poles do the pieces have? thanx
When a bar magnet is broken, it separates into two smaller magnets, each with its own north and south pole.
Yes, the broken pieces of the magnet will still attract each other. Each piece will still have its own north and south pole, so the opposite poles will attract each other.
It is possible to fix a broken magnet by aligning the pieces in the correct orientation and using a strong adhesive to bond them together. However, the magnet may not be as strong as it was before it was broken.
The magnetic field of a bar magnet will not change when it is broken. Each piece will still have its own magnetic field, and the overall field will remain the same.
Yes, a broken magnet can still be used for scientific experiments. It may not be as strong as a whole magnet, but it can still demonstrate the basic properties of magnetism.
