What is a true statement about the magnetic field between two magnets?
The south pole of one magnet is attracted to the north pole of the other magnet.
What materials are used to make magnets?
The most common permanent magnets are: neodymium magnets, which are composed of neodymium, iron and boron; Samarium Cobalt magnets, which are composed of samarium, cobalt and iron; and ceramic magnets. Here is a link to information about the first 2 which are called rare earth magnets.
How come some magnets look plastic and are flexible?
Magnets are made from iron, nickel, and cobalt. Cobalt is a bit more flexible than the other two, which are very hard metals. It could also be an alloy of the three, but I don't know about that.
Why doesn't iron act like a magnet?
Great question. The Earth has a magnetic field but it is not strong enough to overcome the other forces affecting pieces of iron. But if you wanted to make a super-accurate weighing scale, you would avoid iron for its hanging parts. And every steel can in your kitchen is magnetized from sitting in the Earths magnetic field. Put a compass needle close to a can of beans and see!
How do magnets and radishes affect each other?
magnets make the radishes grow larger. i noticed that the magnets also made the radishes produce more leaves.
What kind of metals are attracted to magnets or can be made into magnets?
Metals that are attracted by magnets or that can be turned into magnets are as follows: 1-iron 2-cobalt 3-nickel 4-steel (a compound not an element)
Can a magnet and metal propel?
Magnets are most commonly made out of metal, so yes, two metal magnets can repel. But metals such as iron are attracted to magnets even if the metal itself is not magnetized. Iron is attracted to both poles of a magnet, and it can not be repelled by a magnet.
What is the term given to magnets made of iron cobalt nickel or alloys of those metals?
They are called ferromagnets or permanent magnets. They are also called man-made or synthetic magnets. If you're on A+, the correct answer is ferromagnets. - Dawn Ayers
Is magnet use in iron?
Magnets is made of iron. Magnets are attracted to anything made out of iron.
Why do coins attract to magnets?
The only coins that are attracted to magnets are coins containing iron or steel, or a very high proportion of nickel. This includes many common coated-steel coins, and Canadian all-nickel 5-cent coins from the 20th century.
How do magnets behave?
Magnets are made from magnetic materials. These are metals that can be magnetised or will be attracted to a magnet. Most materials are not magnetic, but iron, cobalt and nickelare magnetic. Steel is mostly iron, so steel is magnetic too.
Is a nail attracted to a magnet?
Yes. Nails are usually made from iron or steel, which is attracted to magnets.
Complete sentence An material is attracted to magnets and can be made into a magnet?
ductile
Why is a steel attracted to a magnet?
Magnets are just certain minerals that create a strong magnetic field. Everything in the universe, down to our atoms, creates a magnetic field (which is why you can't walk through walls, even though the atoms in you are relatively far apart from one another). Some metals (such as iron) have a magnetic field that is attracted to the field from a magnet. So, the two objects, if given the opportunity, will try to go nearer to each other.
What is most likely to be attracted by a magnet?
Iron, nickel and some of their alloys are attracted to magnets (only some types of steel). Also, the oppositely charged poles of other magnets or electromagnets.
Can all metals be made into magnets?
that why you gi to school :D
What is the atomic mass of magnets?
Magnets can be made from many different metals so there is no specific atomic mass.
