Is the nucleus of an atom of the magnet also a magnet?
No!The smallest particle in which a magnet still has the same magnetic properties is a called a domain. If you split this domain into other remnants, then that particle shall seize to become a magnet and shall just be a piece of matter
If you spray paint a magnet gold will it still be magnetic?
Generally speaking, yes. Lower quality magnets might lose their pull, but if you don't put too much paint on it you should be fine.
What happens when you drop a magnet in a magnetic domain?
The domains are still there, but they point every which way, so the net combined magnetic field of all of them no longer has any preferred direction.
Is a nickel magnetic?
AnswerPure nickel is magnetic. However, US nickels aren't magnetic because they are made of an alloy (a combination of different metals) that's mostly copper.However, older Canadian nickels are pure nickel, so they are magnetic. Newer Canadian nickels are steel so they're still attracted to a magnet.
When you take a nail and a paperclip and they stick together on a magnet then take the magnet away the nail and paperclip still stick together what is that called?
However, if you bring a magnet near a piece of iron, such as a nail,and the paperclip. If the paperclip does not fall then the magnetic field has the iron nail. The result is a temporary magnet called an 'electromagnet'. The magnets either stick together or are suspended in midair
Is a magnet still magnetic if it is in the fridge?
Yes
Can you cut a magnet and the magnet still work?
No. You'll end up with two smaller magnets, and each will have less than half the magnetic field strength of the original magnet.
Can your coin still have silver in it even if a magnet sticks to it and it still has a silver ring sound to it?
Silver is non-magnetic.
What happens when you break a magnet?
As you break a magnet, the remnant (broken piece) shall still remain a magnet with the same properties and poles. However, there is only so far a magnet can be broken. Visualize a magnet. Now imagine to have a knife that would keep cutting the magnet into half. It will reach a point that cutting the 'magnet' further would yield into a particle with no magnetic charge whatsoever. This is called a magnetic domain. Cutting a magnetic domain further would yield into a charge-less particle as it would be obviously incorrect to state that an atom of a magnetized steel bar would still remain a magnet.
When magnet broken in half each half is a magnet?
Yes, each half still has magnetic properties.
How can you test if a material is magnetic?
Using a compass; You move the compass around the object and if the hand in the compass goes mad, then it is a magnet To test how something is magnetic: See if it sticks to a magnet. It will only be magnetic if it is made from nickle, iron or cobalt. Steel is also magnetic because it is made mostly from iron. Hope this helps x
Is a magnet still magnetic if you crush it?
Assuming the crushing process doesn't totally jumble the domains, yes.
Will a magnet still be a magnet if it is melted?
A magnet is produced by aligning the magnetic domains in a material to point in the same direction. When heated, the magnet loses its magnetism as the molecular motion, which is caused by heating, destroys the alignment of the magnetic domains. Ferromagnetic materials also lose its magnetism after being melted. However, when the magnet is being hammered whilst cooling in a magnetic field, the melted magnet would gain its magnetism again.
Why is a nail attracted to a magnet?
The nail is made of non-polarized iron. and doesn't repel either side of a magnet. A magnet has two poles and will repel another magnet with the same pole (north repels north, south repels south). Since the nail doesn't have a poles it doesn't repel either side.
Is the nucleus of an atom of the magnet also a magnet?
No!The smallest particle in which a magnet still has the same magnetic properties is a called a domain. If you split this domain into other remnants, then that particle shall seize to become a magnet and shall just be a piece of matter
If you break a magnet in half what happens to the magnetic poles?
If you break a magnet in half, each half gains a new pole. For example, you are holding a magnet in both hands with the north magnetic pole in your left hand and the south magnetic pole in your right hand. You break the magnet in half. The half that is in your left hand gains a new south magnetic pole and the half that is in your right hand gains a new north magnetic pole.
Would iron still be magnetic if it were rusty?
A magnet Will pick up rust flakes And a magnet can get rusty looking however I don't think you can get much magnetism out of a piece of rust.
