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.
