SQL Server Database mirroring

I have a question about Database Mirroring.  If you have a principle server and a mirror server talking to each other and the mirror breaks, at what point does the mirror server become the principle server?  In addition, when the mirror breaks between the two servers, can the mirror or secondary server assume the principle role right away or do you have to perform a restore in order to get the principle server to operate as the primary server altogether?

So if the mirror were to break, what happens to the principal role and the mirrored role?  Do they switch?
