A magnets field lines always start near the magnets?
The field lines have no start or stop. They form closed loops and can never cross. The field lines are found inside and outside the magnet. From the point of view looking from inside the magnet the field lines appear to be (say) S to N, while outside the lines appear to be N to S. ( you could choose the opposite convention) +-->---| S inside -->--------- N | --- outside-->-+ +-----------<-----------<-----------<---------------<-+
What is the scientific name of a magnet?
magnet :)
What is a lifting magnet?
A lifting magnet is an electromagnet that is meant to hold or move material that comes in contact with the magnet. This is the opposite of a traction magnet.
O T T F F S S E what letter is next?
One Two Three Four Five Six Seven Eight The next letter is N! (Nine)
What kind of substance attract magnet?
a magnet Actually named magnetite, but it is a natural magnet.
How does breaking a magnet change its magnetic properties?
There is no reversal of polarity when a magnet is broken. If you break a magnet, labeled N--S, into two, then you end up with two magnets of N--S and N--S.
Why do magnets make a N and S pole when you break a magnet?
Because in a permanent magnet, there is always a magnetic field, if the permanent magnet is broken, and didn't have a S and a N, then magnetism would cease to exsist.
Why do opposites attraced on a magnet?
A magnet has two poles, called North and South. Take two magnets and stick the ends together. You'll find N-S and S-N stick together (attract). N-N and S-S push apart (repel).
How like charges or magnetic respond?
Like charges or magnetic fields repel each other. Like terms means ex. N. Pole of a magnet vs N. Pole of a magnet S. Pole of a magnet vs S. Pole of a magnet
What are the poles on a magnet?
One pole in a magnet which is n stands for north , and the other pole on a magnet which is s , stands for south. Those are the two poles on a magnet.
When a magnet splits why does the polarity change?
The polarity of a magnet does not change if the magnet is cut into pieces. Each piece has the same polarity that it had before. In particular, if you break a bar magnet in half at the midline between the two poles, you will end up with two magnets N-S and N-S. No reversal of polarity occurs.
Which poles on a magnet will repel?
Like poles repel, opposites attract. So a N pole of one bar magnet will repel the N pole of another bar magnet. And the same applies to two S poles.
Where are the poles of a disc magnet located?
It depends on the magnet, most of them have poles on the flat faces, but some magnets are magnetised on the outside diameter. this means that if you draw a line across the flat face, the south pole is on one side and the north pole on the other side
Why does a bar magnet placed in S-N direction turn towards N-S direction when torque acting on it is zero?
If the bar magnet turned then there was a torque acting upon it. Torque is defined as a turning force or moment.
What would happen if magnet faced same pole?
If one magnet's North Pole faced another magnet's North Pole, the magnets would repel eachother, meaning they would push away from eachother. If you put a North and a South pole together, however, they would attract, or come together. N+N= Repel S+S= Repel N+S= Attract S+N= Attract Well. I guess opposites really DO attract...
Why does a magnet attract an iron nail to either of its poles but attracts another magnet to only one of its poles?
it has no north or south end its neutral so it goes to both but other magnet has both N & S so it only connects to others N & S so = nail=E mag = N & S so E=N & S but S=N & E so S only goes to the N side of the magnet
If you break a bar magnet in half would it repell or attrack?
The ends of a bar magnet broken in two will still attract one another. Imagine a bar magnet with a north magnetic pole and a south magnetic pole: N----------------S Now imagine that the magnet is broken in the middle: N-------//--------S The two existing poles cannot change, but neither is it possible to have a North pole without a south, or vice-versa, so the separated parts will now look like this: N-------S N--------S The south pole of the leftmost section sits next to the North pole of that on the right, and they will be attracted to one another.
