Question 3 • FL-2003310-Physical Science CR

If a magnet is broken into two pieces, what happens to the magnetic poles?

Answer
A
One piece will have a north pole, while the other piece will have a south pole.
B
Each piece will still have a north pole and a south pole.
C
Each piece will have only a north pole.
D
Both pieces will no longer have any magnetic poles.

Explanation

Breaking a magnet does not separate its north and south poles. Each smaller piece becomes a magnet with its own north pole and south pole, so the correct choice is “Each piece will still have a north pole and a south pole.”
