The Broken Magnet

Unfortunately, your answer is wrong.

You are thinking along the right lines. Keep in mind, however, that there are no charges in magnets. Positive and negative charges are phenomena of electricity. They can explain the flow of current or the attraction between balloons and hair. Magnetism is a different phenomenon, which is based on the effects of the north and south poles. These can be illustrated by the model of elementary magnets. To fing the right answer, consider the fact that they do not realign themselves just because of a rupture.

You may not have found the right answer yet, but another clue can put you on the right path. Do not be discouraged, use another clue and think again.
