We know that there is a north and south pole, and if the magnet is broken in half, it forms 2 new poles. But what will the force in the center be?

So yes, we didn't just tear the radio apart for the heck of it.
Hmmmmm I think you guys need to take a good physics course if you are looking for the "force" in the middle of the magnet....
Pick up a physics book and take a look at magnetic fields and how they are generated....and the relationships within the magnetic domains in the magnetic elements you are dealing with...

or ask you physics teacher...

even better

have fun!! and I like your curiosity...!!! Keep it up!!
