Short Answer

Solution
No, a magnet with a single pole (called a magnetic monopole) cannot exist.
Magnetic poles always exist as a pair of North and South poles.
If you cut a bar magnet in half, you will not separate the poles; instead, two smaller magnets will be formed, each having its own North and South pole.
