During a recent physics debate a asked what might hapen when the poles of 
a bar magnet, were joined by bending the bar so that the ends might meet, 
my physic's teacher was unable to answer this question. I wonder whether 
this would result in the magnet lossing it's magnetism, or a singlualr 
pole. Any thoughts would be welcome. 
Thanks 
James
