What happens to the pole strength and magnetic dipole moment of a bar magnet if it is cut into two pieces i)along its length ii)transverse to its length?

Dear student When we cut the magnet in the tranverse manner, thenpole strength remain same and magnetic moment becomeshalf.When we cut along the length then pole strength becomes half and magnetic moment remains same. Regards
