A bar magnet is separated four times, the number of monopoles and dipoles formed are __.

[the answer is 0 monopoles and 4 dipoles, but I think it should be 8 dipoles.]
Kindly Help me understand !​

Respuesta :

The characteristics of the magnetism allow to find the results for the questions related to the division of the magnetic bar are:

  • The magnetic monopoles do not exist.
  • When cutting the magnet there are 4 magnetic dipoles.

The magnetic field is understood today as the effect of the movement of electric charges, in this sense there is no magnetic monopole since the orbital or spin movement of the charges is continuous.

The dipole or magnetic moment is caused by the movement of the electrons around the nucleus, in some cases the movements are in the opposite direction and can be annulled and the electrons grinding on themselves called spin.

A magnet is a material where there is a permanent magnetic field formed by the sum of all the microscopic contributions, this sum gives a dipole or total magnetic moment different from zero.

They indicate that a bar-shaped magnet is cut into four parts, each part forms a smaller magnet, that is, each part is a magnetic dipole.

In conclusion, using the characteristics of magnetism we can find the results for the questions about the division of the magnetic bar are:

  • The magnetic monopoles do not exist.
  • When cutting the magnet there are 4 magnetic dipoles.
