The words to describe what you are asking is basically "is perpetual motion possible"

The answer in reality is no.

In a perfect environment with no friction, it could theoretically be possible. but the energy required to spin one magnet would be the exact amount of maximum energy that the other magnet can exert. Unfortunately friction in the air, and the bases where the magnets are positioned on also soak up the energy, therefor the magnet can never output enough force on the other magnet to keep it spinning.

Is it possible to make a hanging magnet spin?

Yes. Placing a rotating magnet below it can generate a magnetic field that creates a spin in the suspended magnet. If the magnet is mounted on a low-friction axis, bringing an opposite pole toward one side of the magnet, then removing it, will add force to spin it for awhile.

No.


Is magnet attraction related to electron spin?

Yes, magnet attraction is related to electron spin. Electrons possess a property called spin, which creates a magnetic moment. When electrons align their spins in the same direction, they create a magnetic field that can interact with other magnetic fields, leading to magnet attraction or repulsion.


What is formed when you spin electrons in a magnet?

It doesn't work like that. You can't make an electron have spin, remove its spin, or change the amount of its spin.What happens in a permanent magnet is that more electrons have their spin axis in one direction than in the opposite direction. Since the spin is associated with a magnetic field, that results in magnetism that can be observed externally.


Why does a compass needle spin toward the magnet when yu put it near a magnet?

The compass is a magnet too; and magnets attract each other. More specifically, the north pole of one magnet is attracted by the south pole of another magnet.The compass is a magnet too; and magnets attract each other.

How can a magnet be demagnetized using another magnet?

When a magnet is exposed to a strong magnetic field from another magnet, the alignment of its magnetic domains can be disrupted, causing it to lose its magnetism and become demagnetized.


Making a magnet with another magnet?

if you have a magnet and a magnetic matereal, rub the magnet from one end of it to the other. do this several times and it will eventualy be a magnet.
