Question: What happens to the magnetic field lines when a magnet is cut into two pieces? (2021)

Options:

  1. They disappear
  2. They become weaker
  3. Each piece becomes a magnet with its own field
  4. They merge into one

Correct Answer: Each piece becomes a magnet with its own field

Exam Year: 2021

Solution: 

When a magnet is cut into two pieces, each piece becomes a magnet with its own north and south poles, thus maintaining the magnetic field lines.

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What happens to the magnetic field lines when a magnet is cut into two pieces? (2021)
  • Step 1: Start with a magnet that has a north pole and a south pole.
  • Step 2: Imagine cutting the magnet in half.
  • Step 3: When you cut the magnet, each half will now have its own north pole and south pole.
  • Step 4: The magnetic field lines that were present in the original magnet will now be present in both pieces.
  • Step 5: Each piece will act as a new magnet, maintaining the magnetic field lines.
  • Magnetic Poles – Each piece of a cut magnet retains its own north and south poles.
  • Magnetic Field Lines – The magnetic field lines continue to exist and rearrange around the new poles of the cut pieces.
