Consider the following statements I. If a piece of bar magnet is broken into two equally long pieces, then the pieces will not lose the magnetic properties. II. Magnetic properties of a substance lie at the atomic level. Which of the statement(s) given above is/are correct?
Options
- AOnly I
- BOnly II
- CBoth I and II
- DNeither I nor II
Correct answer
C. Both I and II
Step-by-step solution
A magnetic monopole does not exist, i.e., even if we break a magnet it will behave as two magnets, and we cannot isolate a magnetic monopole. If we keep on dividing the magnet till the atomic level the magnetic property will still be there, thus the magnetic property of a substance lie in the atomic level.
