Question

Can an isolated north or south pole exist?

Solution

  1. Magnetic poles always exist in pairs and cannot exist independently.
  2. If a bar magnet is broken into two or more pieces, each of them will have a north pole and a south pole.
  3. Hence, It is impossible to obtain a piece of the magnet with only one magnetic pole.
