A MAGNET HAS SOUTH & NORTH POLES
IF YOU BREAK A MAGNET THE BROKEN ENDS HAS OPPOSITE POLES BUT STILL REPELS WHY?

There is no absolute positive or negative . One is positive or negative RELATIVE to somethilng else, the other end.

This is because when you break the magnet, the magnetic 'domains' inside re-align themselves to form a new South and North Pole.
A magnetic monopole (i.e. only a single north OR a single south pole) has yet to be found...... even though it has been postulated by many a physicist.
The question you should ask your physics teacher is 'Why was it magnetic in the first place ?' and see if he can explain the joys of magnetism.
If he mentions about Electromagnetism he is going down the right lines - as magnetic fields induce electric fields and vice-versa.

The domains of the magnet gets realigned to the earth`s magnetic field due to the mechanical shock experienced while breaking. this effect is more in dia magnets. so the original magnet which is N===S gets broken N==/==S and assumes the form S==N/N==S. LIKE POLES REPEL. and so da broken ends repel

when a magnet is broken it forms 2 different magnets and each magnet will have its own north n south poles.and if a magnet has 2 different poles it will always attract and will not repel .i think u have made a mistake e in ur question .i think the answer i have given is correct and if ever u r not ready 2 accept this answer u may ask ur physics teacher or u may go to this website and search 4 ur answer www.google.com or www.answer question.com

You have produced in fact two magnets that have a South and North pole .At the point where it has broken a Nth And Sth pole has formed and is repelling the other .

in case you brake a bar magnet in 0.5, you will finally end up with with 2 bar magnets. The trick is, or the assumption of it, that the "ruin" does not exchange the alignment or magnetic orientation of the atoms or molecules So, in case you had a lengthy bar magnet and slice it up in ten or much extra products, each bit could have a north and south pole. on the different hand, in case you have been to characteristic the magnets to make a bar back, the junction on the joint could be a S-N, as a result attracting one yet another, and additionally you will flow on and on, the finale configuration will consistently have a N and S on the top

No the broken magnet has the same poles.

when a magnet breaks the broken pieces will become a new magnet whit S and N,so it works as a new magnet.
