How electricity can make things move?

Electricity can make things move by creating a magnetic field when it flows through a wire. This magnetic field interacts with other magnetic fields to generate a force, which can then be used to move objects. This principle is utilized in electric motors and other electromechanical devices.

Is magnesium magnetic?

No it is not.Magnesium has no unpaired electrons. To be magnetic, a metal must have at least one unpaired electron (i.e., a spin up electron without a corresponding spin down electron). In general, response to a magnetic field is a property of electron spin.The confusion comes from the similarity between the two words. Here is a citation by Peter von der Krogt from Elementymology and Elements Multidict:The names magnesia alba and magnesia nigra are derived from Magnesia, Μαγνησια,a prefecture in Thessaly (Greece)… Manganese and Magnesium were abundant in oxide and carbonate ores in this region, and they therefore became referred as Μαγνητις λιθος, or stones from Magnesia. The region also contained large amounts of iron oxides (magnetite, or lodestone, for example) so that the ores were magnetized. That explains why magnesium as well as magnet (and magnetism) are derived from Magnesia, while magnesium is not magnetic.


Is talc magnetic?

Talc is not magnetic because it is a non-metallic mineral composed mostly of hydrated magnesium silicate. It does not exhibit magnetic properties as it lacks the necessary elements to interact with magnetic fields.

Can you make a magnet from ordinary iron?

Yes, you can turn ordinary iron into a magnet by placing it in a strong magnetic field or by stroking it repeatedly with a magnet. This process aligns the magnetic domains in the iron, making it magnetic.
