Question

a magnet is broken into three pieces – X, Y, and Z. Which of the options for its magnetic rearrangement regarding the magnetic poles is correctly depicted? Option A Option B Option C Option D

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

it is clear that the magnetic line of force starts from N-pole and ends at S-pole.

The diagram in option (C) is correct representation of magnetic line of force.

Answer 2

The correct answer is Option 'D', because of the following reasons:-

• When a magnet is broken into 3 pieces, every broken piece develops it's own North and South pole, having a total of 6 poles.
• Magnet also shows the dual polarity nature, which means Magnetic monopoles do not exist. That's why when you cut a magnet it automatically forms a new North and South poles.
• Magnet always forms consecutive North and South poles, however the strength of magnet may get changed.
• Also, these pieces of magnet align themselves as to attract each other by joining North pole of one to South pole of the other one.
• This type of arrangement is only seen in the last option as it forms a pattern of North-South in consecutive manner.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 'D'.
