Detailed Explanation
Let M be the magnetic moment of a bar magnet. It is defined as M = length of the magnet x dipole strength.
Suppose the bar magnet is cut into two equal parts along its length, then Length of one of the parts = half the length of the bar magnet
Therefore, the magnetic moment of one of the parts of the cut magnet is
m(1 or 2) = 1
2
(length of the magnet)
×
(dipole strength)
The previous equation is as same as m(1 or 2) = M. This explains that the magnetic moment of one of the parts is also halved.
