Maxwell’s Second Equation: All magnets have two poles. Magnets are called dipolar which means they have two poles. The two poles of a magnet are called north and south poles. The magnetic field comes from a north pole and goes to a south pole. Opposite poles will attract one another. Like poles will repel one another.
Materials: magnet you can break or cut in half, scissors or hammer (depending on the size of your magnet)
[am4show have='p8;p9;p10;p37;p77;p92;' guest_error='Guest error message' user_error='User error message' ] What happens if you cut (or break) a magnet in half? The new magnets will each sport their own North-South poles!
