Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -What happens if you cut a bar magnet in half? Do you obtain one magnet with two south poles and one magnet with two north poles? The answer is no: Each half of the bar magnet has a north pole and a south pole.
Detailed explanation-2: -When we break a magnet into two, both act as magnets, that is both have a north and south pole each. In both these pieces the corresponding north and south poles remain on the sides as in the original magnet.
Detailed explanation-3: -The poles of a magnet cannot be separated by simply cutting the magnet from between. As soon as the magnet is cut, the resulting chunks of magnet forms up a new set of North and South poles within them.
