Solution

  1. A magnet is a substance that produces a magnetic field around it
  2. These magnetic fields are invisible and are responsible for the attraction of magnetic substances
  3. These magnets are classified into artificial and natural magnets
  4. When a bar magnet is divided, each piece has two poles each according to the property of a magnet
  5. The property of the magnet is magnetic poles always exist in pairs.
  6. When a bar magnet is broken into a finite number of pieces, each piece has two poles at its end, a north pole and a south pole.
  7. So, When it is divided into three equal parts total of six poles are formed
  8. In the middle, the poles formed are the North and South poles
