Question
A magnet is carefully broken into two equal pieces as shown in the figure. How would the magnetic field strength of each piece compare with that of the original magnet? 
Solution
By breaking the magnet into two halves, magnetic strength will always get half. So, the raio of magnetic strength will be 1:2.
