If a bar magnet is cut into two pieces transverse to its length, each piece
AIs a complete magnet with both north and south poles
BLoses all its magnetism
CHas only a north pole
DHas only a south pole
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Is a complete magnet with both north and south poles
There are no magnetic monopoles — splitting yields two complete, smaller bar magnets. Same as cutting a solenoid.
