in a horse shoe magnet is it posible that two poles join together to make a ring? why?

Answer 1

Normally, no, because like magnets repel. But if you heated the horse shoe above the Curie temperature, the horse shoe no longer is ferromagnetic, and it is now possible. You can also hold the two ends of the ring together with a third object that is strong enough to overcome the magnetic force between the ends.

Answer 2

of course nt since the 2 poles of d horse shoe magnet are north pole and south pole and we kno dat dere is a repulsion force between north pole and south pole. so its vry difficult 2 join it 2gether. the above 2 answers are also negligible as the curie temp. of a magnet is too high. u can't provide such a large amount of energy to d magnet. and d second ans says dat u cn tie it up 2 held the 2 poles 2gether. firstly, a horse shoe magnet is very strong bcoz its made up of iron and other many strong metals. so u cn even bend it 2wards each other. and secondly u have 2 first get such a strong substance by which u cn tie d 2 poles with each other. so generaly its nt possible.

Answer 3

Yes!
It would then become a "circular" magnet.
You then might not even be able to make out that it is a magnet. As pointed out correctly, the lines of force pass right through the magnet.

Answer 4

Yes ,but all the magnetic lines of force would be contained within the magnet.

Answer 5

One could smash the ends (and the rest of the magnet) together with a force large enough to destroy the magnetism...that's the only way.
