Are permanent magnets only attracted to other permanent magnets?

No, they are attracted to: Other permanent magnets Solenoids Iron Wires with current running through them


How are permanent magnets bad?

Permanent magnets aren't bad. period. I do not know where you heard that but whatevs..


Where can I find permanent magnets?

Permanent magnets can be purchased from sites such as Magnet Sales and PML India. A permanent magnet is more resistant to factors that would demagnetise it than regular magnets.


What is the difference between a permanent and non permanent magnet?

Permanent magnets are bar magnets or horse shoe magnets which has magnetism at all times. But non permanent also known as temporary magnets are usually electromagnets which would have magnetism only when current flows through the coil that surrounds it.


What are the three classification of magnets?

Permanent MagnetsPermanent magnets are those we are most familiar with, such as the magnets hanging onto our refrigerator doors. They are permanent in the sense that once they are magnetized, they retain a level of magnetism. As we will see, different types of permanent magnets have different characteristics or properties concerning how easily they can be demagnetized, how strong they can be, how their strength varies with temperature, and so on.Temporary MagnetsTemporary magnets are those which act like a permanent magnet when they are within a strong magnetic field, but lose their magnetism when the magnetic field disappears. Examples would be paperclips and nails and other soft iron items.ElectromagnetsAn electromagnet is a tightly wound helical coil of wire, usually with an iron core, which acts like a permanent magnet when current is flowing in the wire. The strength and polarity of the magnetic field created by the electromagnet are adjustable by changing the magnitude of the current flowing through the wire and by changing the direction of the current flow.

A permanent magnet can affect?

A permanent magnet can affect magnets and electromagnets.


Why aren't permanent magnets really permanent?

They can be demagnetized. Because nothing can be permanent :-)


How are temporary and permanent magnets alike?

Yes Permanent magnets is the term used to describe magnets that are always magnetic, an non permanent magnet would be an electro magnet which is only a magnet when an electric current is put through it.
