Solution

The correct option is D Ten
  • Let us suppose we have a bar magnet. If this bar magnet gets broken into five pieces, these five pieces will also be five independent magnets.
  • Now since we know that every magnet has two poles, namely- north and south, each of these 5 pieces will also have 2 poles. Therefore, there will be 10 poles in total.
