Magnet shaped like a horseshoe, so both the polarities are pointed the same way. They can be weak or strong magnets (my dad had a couple when we were kids... we put a broomstick in them and did chin-ups from the I-beam in the basement, because they were strong enough to hold a 12-year-old's weight easily). Here is a site with a picture of some: http://www.indigo.com/magnets/gphmgnts/chrome-steel-horseshoe-magnets.html
What is horseshoe magnet called
A horseshoe looks like a (almost) semicircle. A (almost) semicircle magnet (north and south poles are bent so they face in the same direction) has been called a horseshoe magnet.
Any permanent magnet, irrespective of shape, has been treated so as to align groups of electrons to spin in the same direction. Normally, the electrons will have spin in random directions.
By aligning the electron spins, they have now created an aligned magnetic field.
All magnetic fields have the flow or the spin of electrons as their cause.
No moving electrons - no magnetic field.
No. The strongest magnets are neodymium magnets.
Additional answer
The shape of a magnet has nothing to do with its strength. Horseshoe magnets are made so that both poles are roughly in the same position, whereas bar magnets have the poles some way apart. But they could both be of the same strength.
A horseshoe magnet is a magnet shaped like a horseshoe.
A horse shoe magnet works by using its magnetic field to attract or repel items with a magnitised field.
it is shaped like a horseshoe
It lives all over the world now
spread out from one pole and curve around to the other
When a magnet is weak, you can do three things to try to recharge it. You can rub a stronger magnet across its surface, you can stack them tightly and in the same alignment, or you can place it on something that floats in water, remove it and strike it with a hammer. These methods are not guaranteed to work.
A dumbbell shaped magnet is called which type of magnet?
between a horse shoe magnet and u shaped magnet?
Move towards the U magnet so that the poles attach.
The horseshoe magnet is called that because it is shaped like a horseshoe.
They make horseshoe magnet babies.
A horseshoe magnet is curved.
In general, magnets are brittle and will break before they bend. And yes, refrigerator magnets bend, but in them the magnetic material is powdered. But if we took a bar magnet and bent it, we'd have a horseshoe magnet. It's not quite that simple to make a horseshoe magnet, but it isn't too tough, either.
The shape - U
They are bar magnet ,horse shoe magnet ,lime stone magnet.
A horseshoe magnet has a North pole one one of the feet and a south pole on the other. A magnet made of flexible material would collapse on itself as the two poles attract.
yes it does
The direction of the needle will remain unchanged. This is due to magnetic forces, the needle will remain in line with the lines of magnetic force which flow between the north and south poles.
An electromagnet is temporary because the field disappears when the current is switched off.
Horseshoe, Bar, U, Ring, Circle, etc.
