Question

What would happen to a bar magnet that was cut into two pieces?

Answer 1

If a bar magnet is cut into two pieces, each piece would simply become its own magnet with a north and south pole. The magnetic field of the magnet would continue to exist in each of the two pieces. The strength of the magnet may decrease slightly depending on the quality of the material and the precision of the cut, but it would still function as two separate magnets.
