A temporary magnet is "charged" by aligning their electronic spins in one direction (each atom acts like a magnet this way, the the effect multiplies). It's what happens when you turn the power on an electromagnet.

How do magnets and chaged particles differ?

Magnets have a magnetic field that can attract or repel other magnets or magnetic materials. Charged particles, on the other hand, have an electric field and can interact with each other through electromagnetic forces. Magnets have their own magnetic field even when not in an external field, while charged particles need an external source to create an electric field.


What is a hard magnet?

Hard magnets are permanent magnets that do not require electricity to retain their magnetism and are not easily demagnetized. They are magnetically charged naturally and can be artificially, too.


Are smaller magnets stronger than larger magnets?

yes.in bigger magnets there are more magnetisom This is not true! In many cases larger magnets are stronger than smaller ones but not in all. I urge you to do research on reputable sites which can offer accurate answers to your questions. Magnet strength and effectiveness rely on size, age, gauss ratings as well as several other aspects. But do not take my word, please research further.


What do you mean by Magnetic field?

A magnetic field is a region around a magnet or a current-carrying conductor where magnetic forces are exerted on other magnets or moving charges. It influences the movement and alignment of charged particles and is responsible for the attraction and repulsion between magnets.


How do magnets work in outer space?

In outer space, magnets work the same way as they do on Earth. They create a magnetic field that can attract or repel other magnetic objects. This is because the movement of charged particles in space generates magnetic fields, which can interact with magnetic materials.

Yes


How are charged objects and magnets alike?

Charged objects and magnets both produce electromagnetic forces. A charged object generates an electric field that can attract or repel other charged objects, while a magnet produces a magnetic field that can attract or repel other magnets or magnetic materials. Both can exert forces on nearby objects without physical contact.


How magnets are used in motors?

The alternator does. It is what keeps your battery charged while in use.


Is a magnet charged?

A magnet is not "charged" in the same way as a battery or capacitor. Instead, it has magnetic properties because of its alignment of atoms which create a magnetic field. This allows magnets to attract or repel other magnets or magnetic materials.

How is an electromagnet used in a tv?

Do magnets blow up?

No. Magnets are just pieces of metal that are magnetically charged to attract to the nickel and iron on the earth's core. There is nothing done to the that causes them to blow up.


On a magnet which pulls and which repels?

Parts that have the same charge will repel. Opposite charges attract/pull each other. So positive sides of magnets attract negatively charged magnets and repel positively charged magnets. Negative sides of magnets attract positively charged magnets and repel negatively charged magnets.


How and why do magnets attach?

Magnets attract when the opposite poles (north and south) come together, creating a magnetic force. This attraction occurs due to the alignment of magnetic domains within the magnets, resulting in a force that pulls the magnets together.


Will a positively charged glass rod be attracted to a magnet?

No, a positively charged glass rod will not be attracted to a magnet. Magnets attract materials with unpaired electrons or magnetic properties, which glass does not have.
