the poles of a magnet _______ be sapreated and isolated from each other
Answers
Answer:
The superficial answer is that the poles do separate, but at the instant the magnet is broken two new poles form so that both pieces have two opposite poles. Two new poles form because at all scales down to that of individual atoms the pieces act as if they have two poles.
Answer:
The poles of a magnet cannot be separated and isolated from each other.
Explanation:
No. A magnetic pole can never be isolated.
Let us consider a bar magnet. If we break a bar magnet into two halves, both the parts will independently act as two separate magnets with 2 different set of poles. This happens so because magnetic field lines always form a closed loop and when magnetic field lines originate from one pole it is necessary to have another opposite pole so that magnetic field lines can enter it and form a closed loop.
The electrons in the atoms of magnetic material spin around the nucleus in mainly only one direction. This creates a more negative side and a more positive side in the magnet which makes the north pole and the south pole of the magnet.
