Definition of a magnet?
A magnet is a material or object that produces a magnetic field.
Is a magnet a conductor?
A magnet will conduct electricity.
Is it true that a magnet is an object that can exert force on another material?
Yes, it is true that a magnet is an object that can exert force on another material. However, it will only exert that force if it is made out of the correct material. Items made of iron are the most common magnetic objects.
What object that attracts iron?
none of them. iron can be magnetised but the material itself is not magnetic
What sort of material do you need to use to detect the force of a magnet?
Anything magnetic and a metal object.
How can you magnetize an object?
If the material can be magnetized e.g Iron, cobalt etc. then you take a magnet and stroke your material over and over again in the same direction until magnetized or you can expose it to a strong magnetic field (often an electromagnet), then it will magnetize the object. The force required to magnetize an object is usually greater than can be achieved solely with a magnet made from a similar material.
What happens to electrons in an iron object when the object is magnetized?
The electron spin is actually a tiny magnet When a material is magnetized, the spins line up
How do you find charge of an unknown material that either they positively charged or not?
Tie the unknown object and an object with a known charge to separate strings. Hold the two objects up by the strings, and bring them near each other. If the objects repel it means that the unknown object has the same charge as the known object. If they attract it means the unknown object has an opposite charge as the known object.
Is magnet a forcewhy?
No, a magnet is a physical object. However, a magnet can EXERT a force.
What material must be found in an object in order for a magnet be attracted to it?
iron,steel,metal,colbalt,and of course magnisium
When is an object magnetic?
All objects are magnetic. Some are ferromagnetic (strongly attracted to magnets), some are paramagnetic (weakly attracted to magnets), and some are diamagnetic (weakly repelled by magnets).
What is magnet and uses?
an magnet is a object that attracts or repel
