Can Gluing High Powered Magnets with Same Poles Together Create a Dipole?

[Dymium]

If you take 2 high powered magnets let's say the size of a silver dollar and put both in a table vice with neg poles facing each other, add some strong adhesive (superglue, gorila glue) and crank them together till the cement dries, with the same poles pressed together will this cause reconfiguration of the magnets ? I read an article where someone had done a similar experiment and said that it created a dipole where both neg and pos were on the same side ? Anyone have experience in magnetism?

Yes, it will cause the "reconfiguration" of the magnets! That happens whenever a magnet interacts with just about anythig - such as sticking one to the door of your refrigerator. :-)

As to whether you can get mixed polarity on the surfaces, that would depend on the details of the structure, shape and size of the magnets.

There are a few factors to consider when it comes to using high powered magnets in this way. First, the strength and orientation of the magnets will play a role in how they interact with each other. If the magnets are strong enough, they may be able to overcome the adhesive and repel each other, causing them to shift position. Additionally, the strength of the adhesive will also play a role in whether the magnets stay in place or shift.

In terms of creating a dipole, this is possible depending on the strength and orientation of the magnets. However, it's important to note that magnets have a north and south pole, and these poles cannot be changed or reconfigured. So while it may appear that both poles are on the same side, in reality, one pole is simply being masked by the other.

As for personal experience with magnetism, it's always important to exercise caution and follow proper safety protocols when handling high powered magnets. They can be dangerous if mishandled or if they come into contact with electronic devices or pacemakers. It's always best to consult with a professional or do thorough research before conducting experiments with magnets.
