Why would a bar magnet pick up more paper clips than an eletromagnet?

?? lol i dont know what electro magnets u have been using! if it is a homemade electro magnet, try increasing the coils in the wire ro the power u are putting into it. does the bar magnet (permanent magnet) have a larger surface area than the electro one? also, you do know that the magnetic potential of electro and permanent magnets vary right? they use electro magnets in junk yards that are capable of lifting scrap cars with eaaase


Do sphere magnets have poles?

Yes! But it acts like a bar magnet like the Earth and has two poles on a specific axis again like the Earth.


What happens to aluminium bar as it moves closer to the magnet?

aluminium is non magnets


What is the function of a bar magnet?

Assuming that you know what a magnet is,t is a magnet shaped like a bar. it is like a rectangle, like the shape of snickers. One end of the bar is the North Pole and one end of the bar is the South pole. If you do not know what a magnet is, it is basically a piece of alnico , ferrite or some other material that produces a magnetic field because its atoms are 'in order'. Permanent magnets are subjected to special processing in a powerful magnetic field during manufacture to align their internal microcrystalline structure.


Why is an electromagnet better that a bar magnet?

Electromagnets can have higher "domain currents" than permanent magnets, and have no non-aligned nor anti-aligned domains like permanent magnets tend to have (or get over time).

What magnets act like several combined bar magnets?

A "Neodymium magnet or Super Magnet".


What kind of magnet acts like several combined bar magnets?

A "Neodymium magnet." It is more commonly known as a "Super magnet."


Are bar magnets stronger than electro magnets?

Yes, because electromagnets can lose their magnetism.


What are the different types of magnet?

bar magnet, horse shoe magnet,ball ended magnet and cylindrical magnet.I recomend doing the iron shavings and bar magnet experiment.x.x TRY IT .There are 3 types o magnets parmanent, temporary, and electromagnets.you can also use water andblue food colloring to create a magnetic field.Bar Magnet, horseshoe magnet etc


What happens to a bar magnet when it is cut in half?

The bar magnet becomes two smaller barn magnets.


A bar magnet's pull is strongest?

No, electromagnets are stronger than bar magnets.


How many kinds of magnets are they?

only one... but there are difrent shapes...


A bar magnet if cut in half consists of two magnets each with one south and one north pole this is evidence that the atoms of a magnet are like?

small magnets lined up north to south


Breaking a bar magnet in half will produce?

2 new magnets


What are the similarities and differences between a solenoid and a bar magnet?

DIFFERENCE: a bar magnet is a permanent magnet where as solenoid is a electromagnet so it acts as a magnet only when electricity is passed through it. SIMILARITIES: they both act as magnets and both have a similar magnetic field.


What are 5 types of artificial magnets and state their uses?

Bar magnet, ball ended magnet, cylindrical magnet,horse shoe magnet, round magnet
