A bar magnet is cut into two equal halves perpendicular to its length. Each half has:
AA single isolated pole, one N and one S, separated forever
BTwo poles, N and S, just like the original magnet did
CNo magnetic property left, since the field is destroyed
DOnly a magnetic monopole at the cut, never observed
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Two poles, N and S, just like the original magnet did
Cutting a magnet always gives smaller magnets, each with both N and S poles.
