Question

What happens to North and south poles if you break the magnet in half? label the appropriate North adn SOuth ends for each half. What if you break each piece in half again? And again and again, until you get to what Greek atomists called to 'the indivisible' or the 'atom'? Can each 'atom' act as a magnet? Use and arrow -> to represent the magnetic dipole pair S-N. Sketch the atomic dipoles inside of your original, unbroken magnet. the picture of the magnet is this : --------------------- N S ---------------------

Explanation / Answer

we will keep on geting a pair of north and south pole as we keep on breaking hte magnet.

Magnetism occures from dipole moment of atoms. in non magnetic materials, these are alligned randomly, while in mahnetic materials, the are alligned such that this dipole moment, or magnetism of atoms re-inforce each other.
