Joe has an idea to cut a bar magnet in half so that he can have one magnet with a north pole and one magnet with a south pole. What is wrong with this idea?

• It is impossible to cut a magnet in half.

• It is impossible to create an extremely small magnet.

• It is impossible to create a magnet with only one magnetic pole.

• It is impossible to separate two opposite magnetic poles once they are in contact with each other.
