Best Answer

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.

Why material has magnetic property?

The ability of some materials to become STRONGLY magnetized is related to the fact that the materials form magnetic domains, in which many atoms are aligned in a particular direction. Note that in this case, each atom is a tiny magnet.


What is used to separate magnetic material from a mixture of other substances?

A magnet. The magnet will attract the magnetic material to it and so separate the magnetic material from the mixture.


What is the difference between a magnet and magnetic material?

magnet attracks magnegtic material but magnetic meaterial does not atterck or repel\ magnet attracks magnegtic material but magnetic meaterial does not atterck or repel\The magnetic material is any material in which for a short time the domains are alligned in same direction.This material can be anything like iron,etc.The magnet is a steel in which the domains are permanently arranged in same direction by rubbing method.


A magnetic material is?

A material that attracts a magnet. A magnetic material cannot repel, only attract.


Is brass a magnet or a magnetic material?

no


What is A magnetic substance can also be made into a?

If you are talking about a non-magnet item then the item will become a magnet for a period of time. Changes in heat, how much it is used, or time can disable the magnet. Magnet!


Can a permanent magnet and a temporary magnet be made from the same magnetic material?

no they can not.


Definition of a magnet?

A magnet is a material or object that produces a magnetic field.


Why is magnet unable to stick to a stainless steel refrigerator?

If a magnet doesn't stick to a material, that means that the material is non-magnetic. Every individual atom is a magnet, but in a magnetic material, there are groups of atoms (called "magnetic domains") that have their magnetic directions aligned. An outside magnetic field in such materials will align some of the magnetic domains in the direction of the magnetic field.


What is an example of a magnetic material?

Steel is a magnet material, but not all metals are magnetic, like Aluminum.


What object that attracts iron?

none of them. iron can be magnetised but the material itself is not magnetic


How can you tell if a metal is a magnetic?

If you have a magnet, you can see if the magnet is attracted to the material in question.A diamagnetic substance can be identified by weak repulsion in the presence of a magnetic field.A non magnetic substance has no effect in the presence of a magnetic field provided the field is weak.Because if the field is strong enough the tiny electronic magnets may get rearranged so as to have an effect.
