Yes.
No, the "lead" in pencils is made of graphite, which is not magnetic. Magnetic materials, like iron, cobalt, and nickel, have properties that attract to a magnet, while non-magnetic materials, like graphite, do not.
No, iron,cobalt,and nickel are the only known magnetic substance.
Graphite is not magnetic as it is made out of carbon. E.g; Pencil lead is mostly made out of graphite, it is NOT magnetic.
Extraterrestrial olivine, primarily found in meteorites and lunar samples, can exhibit magnetic properties depending on its iron content and crystal structure. While pure olivine (Mg2SiO4) is not magnetic, the presence of iron can impart magnetic characteristics. In certain contexts, such as within meteorites, the magnetic behavior of olivine may be influenced by alterations during impact events or thermal processes. Overall, while olivine itself isn't inherently magnetic, variations can lead to magnetic properties in extraterrestrial samples.
Magnets often contain iron, as it has magnetic properties that align with the magnetic field. Aluminum is not typically used in magnets because it is not inherently magnetic.
No. Also, "pencil lead" is not lead; it is almost always graphite (made of carbon)
When we consider the two elements gold and lead, we find that gold has a (ball park) thermal conductivity of about ten times that of lead. If you guessed that gold is about ten times as good a conductor of electricity as lead (based on the information presented regarding thermal conductivity), you'd be on target. In general, thermal and electrical conductivity both "track" from metal to metal. Good electrical conductors are generally good thermal conductors.
The state of electrical currents affects the efficiency of magnetic fields by influencing the strength and direction of the magnetic field produced. A steady and consistent electrical current can result in a more stable and efficient magnetic field, while fluctuations or interruptions in the current can lead to decreased efficiency and effectiveness of the magnetic field.
Yes, most metals become less magnetic when heated due to a phenomenon known as thermal agitation. As temperature increases, the atomic vibrations within the metal also increase, disrupting the alignment of magnetic domains. This can lead to a decrease in the material's overall magnetic properties, a process that is particularly significant in ferromagnetic materials, which lose their magnetism above a certain temperature known as the Curie temperature.
Magnetic photons interact with matter in the presence of a magnetic field by causing the alignment of electron spins within the material. This alignment can lead to changes in the material's properties, such as its conductivity or magnetic behavior.
Yes, heating and then cooling iron can affect its magnetic properties. This process can lead to the iron losing its magnetism temporarily or becoming slightly demagnetized, but it can regain its magnetic properties once exposed to a magnetic field again.
No, galena is not attracted to a magnet. Galena is a mineral composed primarily of lead sulfide and does not possess significant magnetic properties. It is classified as a non-magnetic mineral, meaning it will not respond to a magnetic field.
