If a bar magnet's neutral region is broken into two, what will most likely occur? A. Neither segment will have a north or south
pole. B. The segment that's longer will have a north and south pole. C. One segment will have only a north pole, the other segment will have only a south pole. D. Each of the two segments of the original bar magnet will have a north and south pole.
The correct answer is "Each of the two segments of the original bar magnet will have a north and south pole."
Explanation:
A bar magnet has a north and a south pole. Irrespective of how many pieces the bar magnet is broken into each individual piece will have a north and a south pole. Now each of the smaller magnets will align such that the south poles point in one direction and the north pole points in the opposite direction.
