Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is If a bar magnet is broken into two halves, we get two similar bar magnets with stronger properties..
Key Points
- If a bar magnet is broken into two halves, each half becomes a separate magnet with its own north and south poles.
- The magnetic properties of each piece are similar to the original magnet, but not stronger.
- Breaking a magnet does not create stronger magnetic properties; the strength of the magnetic field is divided between the two new magnets.
- This concept aligns with the principle that magnetic monopoles do not exist; each broken piece still retains a dipole nature.
Additional Information
- Magnetic Poles
- Magnets have two poles: north and south.
- Like poles repel each other, while unlike poles attract.
- Magnetic Field of Earth
- The Earth’s magnetic field is similar to that produced by a giant bar magnet.
- The magnetic field lines extend from the geographic south pole to the north pole.
- Suspension of Magnets
- When freely suspended, a magnet aligns itself along the north-south direction due to the Earth’s magnetic field.
- This property is utilized in the functioning of magnetic compasses.
- Magnetic Monopoles
- The concept of magnetic monopoles (isolated north or south poles) does not exist in classical physics.
- Every broken piece of a magnet retains both a north and south pole.
