Question
If a magnet is carefully broken into two pieces as shown in figure (i), how does the magnetic strength of each piece compare with that of the original magnet? If another magnet is carefully broken in half along its long axis shown in figure (ii), how would the strength of each piece compare with that of the original magnet?
Solution
- When a magnet is cut into two equal parts as shown in following figure, then pole strength of each piece remains same as that of original magnet.
- When a magnet is cut into two equal parts as shown in figure (ii), then pole strength of each pole is half as that of the pole strength of the original magnet.
