Iron, nickel, and cobalt are the most commonly used metals for creating permanent magnets. They have strong magnetic properties and can retain their magnetism over a long period of time. Other metals like neodymium and samarium can also be used to create powerful permanent magnets.
Magnets only attract ferromagnetic metals, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt. These metals have magnetic properties that allow them to be attracted to a magnet.
A temporary magnet, such as an electromagnet, can only attract materials when in contact with another magnet or when an electric current is flowing through it. It loses its magnetism when the current is turned off or the magnetic field is removed.
Scientists have studied the Earth's core extensively using seismic waves and magnetic field measurements. The data show that the Earth's core is primarily made of molten iron and nickel, rather than a solid permanent magnet. Additionally, the Earth's magnetic field is generated by the movement of molten metals in the outer core, not by a single large permanent magnet in the core.
An electromagnet is a magnet while an electric current is running through the coil. Turn off the current and it is no longer magnetised, and is, therefore, not a permanent magnet.
a Temporary Magnet lose its magnetism quickly, a Permanent Magnet is hard and it keeps it magnetism
