How are objects that conduct electricity and objects that stick to magnets alike?
a. Objects like iron, copper, gold, silver etc are the good conductor of electricity. b.Objects like Iron[ para magnetic] and certain chemical compounds like Iron oxide are attracted towards the magnets.
What is a magnets magnetic field?
Whatever it is that enables a magnet to push another magnet without ever touching it, is called the "magnetic field". It is an invisible attribute of a magnet that surrounds the magnet and exerts forces on other magnets and some non magnets, like iron.
Which magnets attract?
Magnets attract specific types of metals such as: Iron Nickel Cobalt Steel Try this: Get a magnet hover it over different objects, see what it attracts and repels (doesn't attract).
Why are some objects magnetic and others are not?
It all depends on the way in which the iron's 'domains' are aligned. Iron is inherently magnetic as a material, but can become demagnetized as time goes on, due to sudden impact or when affected by another magnetic source. For iron to become magnetized 'domains' need to be in parallel with each other so the magnetic field created all flows in the same direction. An unmagnetized iron source has all of its domains misaligned A brief explanation of domains are a series of positive and negative charged atomic particles within the iron itself which behaves much like tiny magnets themselves.
What materials are used to make magnets?
The most common permanent magnets are: neodymium magnets, which are composed of neodymium, iron and boron; Samarium Cobalt magnets, which are composed of samarium, cobalt and iron; and ceramic magnets. Here is a link to information about the first 2 which are called rare earth magnets.
What atoms are in iron?
The atoms in iron are little groups that act like tiny magnets also found in nickel and cobalt!
Why don't magnents attrack wood?
magnets does not attract wood because wood is not any of the items used for magnent things like iron attract to magnets
When are magnets used?
magnets are used for wide variety of porposes like seperating magnetic objects from non-magnetic objects example(iron from other metals),electric motors,AC and DC generator,loud speakers,transformers, recently used to direct or to control plasma in plasma reactors( currently under development )
How do household goods use magnets?
Speakers and motors use magnets. Using electricity, the electromagnets create a magnetic force which reacts against the permanent magnets in these devices, thus creating motion. Magnets are used in cabinet latches to help them to stay closed. Screwdriver tips are sometimes magnetized to help hold the screw on the end or to help retrieve a dropped screw. Magnets are often used to hold things onto metal objects. Refrigerator magnets are one example. Common objects may have magnets attached to hold them onto refrigerators and other metal objects like lockers and metal cabinets.
What caused the amber to repel other objects when not rubbed?
Not all objects became electrified, objects "electrified" by the same machine appeared to repel each other (like magnets of the same charge); and objects "electrified" in different ways (one by touching an electric machine, for example, and the other, say, by rubbing amber) would attract each other (like magnets of opposite charge).

Do tornadoes pick up magnets?
They could definitely. Tornadoes do not interact with magnetic fields, but most magnets are very small objects that a tornado would lift up just like it would a pebble. In all the objects carried away when tornadoes have destroyed houses, a few magnets were probably among the debris.
