Can you make a magnet without using a magnetic material Explain?

Answer 1

If you are referring to a magnet as an object that possesses a permanent magnetic field, then yes.

There are three circumstances where magnetic fields exist, but not as a result of a permanent magnet.

1. Electric current causes a magnetic field. Thus, any wire carrying a current or even a current without a wire (like a lightning bolt) will be surrounded by a magnetic field. Since electric current is made up of moving electric charges, it is actually true than any moving electric charge creates a magnetic field.

2. It is difficult to observe outside of a scientific laboratory, but when there is an electric field that is varying in time, that creates a magnetic field. Though not easy to demonstrate directly, this turns out the physical phenomena the allows the creation of elecrtromagnetic waves, e.g. like the light we see with our eyes.

3. Thirdly, one can cause materials that are not able to work as permanent magnets to act as temporary magnets. This is the basis for electromagnets. A steel or iron core with an electric current running through a coil surrounding the core will produce a magnetic field. If you simply cut off the power source, the electric current will no longer flow through the coil. No electric current, no magnetic field. When a non-permanent magnet is created, the magnetic field it produces is just the same as the magnetic field of a permanent magnet, until the source is removed and the field disappears.

All of these matters together are an essential part of the basics of electromagnetism which describes how and why the phenomena work.

Answer 2

no we cannot make a magnet without using a magnetic material

Answer 3

An electric current flowing in a wire produces a magnetic field.
