|
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.
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Even if a magnet is broken in half, each half has one north pole and one south pole. Hence, each piece will have two unlike poles.
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: -A magnet will always have two poles no matter what the situation is. So even if you break a magnet be it in two, three, four or any number of pieces, each piece will have two poles i.e., North and South. So, each of the broken pieces will act perfectly as individual magnets.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hint:When a magnet is broken into pieces, each piece will behave as an individual magnet. Therefore, every broken piece will have a north pole and a south pole.
Detailed explanation-5: -When a bar magnet is cut into four pieces, it turned into four bar magnets and, every bar magnet has its own North and South pole.
