Charlie says that if you break a magnet in half it will destroy the magnet, but Sal says that it will not destroy the magnet. Who is right and why?
A: Charlie is right because if you break a magnet in half you will get a magnet that is only north pole and a magnet that is only south pole. They will not be able to attract or repel anything.
B: Sal is right. Breaking a magnet in half will create smaller magnets.
C: Charlie is right because breaking a magnet in half makes the magnetic domains become mixed up and the magnet will lose its magnetic force the same as if you drop it.
D: It is impossible to tell who is right because it depends on how big the magnet was before it was broken.
