What is the difference between magnet and magnetic and magnatism?
A magnet is an object that is magnetic if it displays magnetic properties. Think of it like this; If bar magnet attracts a piece of metal towards it, it is using magnetism (fluxuations in electric current) and therefore the magnet can be said to have magnetic properties.
Will an object made of pure metal always attract with a magnet?
No, only ferrous metals are magnetic.
How does magnetic material become a magnet?
Placing the material in a strong magnetic field will align its' domains. You can swipe a metal tool on a magnet and make it a magnet.
What is the centimeters when the magnet and metal paper clip is a strong magnetic?
The least # of centimeters, the greater the magnetic attraction.
What part of the magnet would be the best area to attract metal to?
The strongest magnetic area of a bar magnet is the sides.
When you rub a magnet with metal what happens to the metal object?
the metal object becomes a temporary magnet
What is the name of the force that causes a magnet to move a metal object?
magnetic force?

What sort of material do you need to use to detect the force of a magnet?
Anything magnetic and a metal object.
Will an object made of pure metal always attract with a magnet?
No, only ferrous metals are magnetic.
How do you make a temporary magnet without electricity?
you can wrap a wire around a metal object and attach both ends of the wire to the battery and you metal will be magnetisedfor an amount of time.
How can metal become a temporary magnet?
By putting metal piece in contact of other magnet or magnetic field.
Can you use a magnet to tell if gold is fake?
A magnet will tell you if a metal is magnetic - Gold is NOT magnetic, so if a ring 'sticks' to a magnet it is NOT gold.
What metal is black does not rust and is magnetic?
A Black Magnet
What is an object that attracts metal?
It is a magnet or a electro-magnet. If you are trying to use it as a metal detector then you will need a really strong magnet!
How can you tell if a piece of metal is magnetic?
Ones Metal and Ones a magnet :D
Will the acceleration due to gravity equals to magnetic field when a bar magnet falls through a metal ring?
Please note that a magnetic field is not measured in units of acceleration (or the equivalent force / mass), like gravity is. What exactly happens when a bar magnet falls through a metal ring will depend on the details of the situation - for example, how strong the magnetic field is, and the mass of the bar magnet.
