Hello,
This is interesting physics about what happens when a magnet breaks in half.
We have a rectangular magnet, 3 inches long, 1/8 inches thick, 1/2 inches wide, so it forms a long stick shape like a pop-sickle stick but not as round ends.
Ok, so the magnet breaks in half, right near the center of that 3 inch length, and the break is rather jagged, but it fits back together like a 3d puzzle as no small pieces were lost in the breaking process.
So here is the question...
The two pieces fit back together very near perfectly, but do they hold together by themselves (stick together because they are magnets that attract) or do they repel (repel like two magnets that repel each other), or none of the above ?
