MCQ
When a bar magnet is broken into two pieces:
  • A
    We will have a single pole on each piece.
  • B
    Each piece will have two unlike poles.
  • C
    Each piece will have two like poles.
  • D
    None of these.

Answer

  1. Each piece will have two unlike poles.

Explanation:

When we break a magnet into two, both act as magnets, that is both have a north and south pole each. In both these pieces the corresponding north and south poles remain on the sides as in the original magnet. This means that the 2 broken sides must get oppositely polarized.
