Question

if you break a magnet into 5 pieces, how many north poles and how many south poles would be there in all​

Answer 1

Answer:

5 south poles and 5 north poles

Explanation:

Answer 2

When a magnet is shattered into parts, each component acts as a separate magnet. As a result, each fractured piece will have a north and south pole.

Explanation:

• A bar magnet has two poles, one north and one south. The qualities of a bar magnet are not lost when it is broken into two pieces.
• Each of the additional components now acts as a separate magnet, with a north and south pole. The north and south poles of the two magnets are on the same side as the original magnet's north and south poles.
• Any two broken sections of a bar magnet are always polarised in the opposing direction. Because the fractured parts' north and south poles are on the same side as the original component, one piece's north pole faces the south pole of another, and vice versa.

There will be 5 north poles and 5 south poles if the magnet is broken into 5 parts.
