Question

A bar magnet is cut in between. What will happen to the part consisting of the North pole?

• A. The North pole will remain as North pole and the cut end will become the South pole
• B. The North pole will become South pole and the cut end will become North pole
• C. The magnet will lose its magnetic property
• D. The North and South pole of the magnet cannot be determined

Answer 1

The correct option is A The North pole will remain as North pole and the cut end will become the South pole

When a magnet is cut in between, the magnet doesn't lose its magnetic property. Smaller magnets can be created just by cutting up the magnets. You can go on cutting the magnets from between and keep getting a set of poles every time.
