Question

Isolated magnetic monopoles can exist in nature.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Magnetic Poles always exist in pairs. If a magnet is divided into parts, the broken ends attain opposite polarity. So, the broken magnet will form two magnets and both the magnets will have a north and a south pole each. The two magnets can then be further divided in the same manner, and all the resulting pieces have both, a north and a south pole. In other words, a single magnetic pole does not exist.
