In an un-magnetised nail there are tiny domains, each in themselves would be a little magnet, however, in a magnetized steel nail the magnetic "domains" tend to be lined up in the same direction.

A domain is a tiny magnet because electrons are spinning with the same orientation.

The iron in the magnet is magnetized (their spins line up).

You can magnetize a nail and it becomes a bar magnet.

These days all the nails you will find in hardware stores are steel. Iron nails are obviously made of iron and are not so strong or lasting.

What is the difference between a weakly magnetised nail and a strongly magnetised nails?

A Weakly magnetised nail will pick up less paper clips then a highly magnetised nail, Hope That Helps:)


What is the opposite word of strongly?

weakly


What is magnetisation?

it is the force experienced by a north pole of strength 'p' placed at a distance 'd' meters from another pole of strength 'm'in a medium of relative permeability.in a steel nail there are these things called domains, in a weakly magnetized nail some of them will be pointing north, south, east and west, but however in a strongly magnetized nail all the domains will point to north.

Are ferromagnetic materials weakly attracted to magnets?

No, ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted to magnets. Ferrimagnetic materials are weakly attracted to magnets.


Adverb than can be used with stand?

firmly, weakly, strongly, boldly, barely.. etc.


What is the difference between a weakly magnetised nail and a strongly magnetised nail?

The strong magnetised nail will pick up more paper clips than the weak magnetised nail.That is because the strong magnetised nail is getting more strength and that means that the weak magnetised nail is getting less strength.in a steel nail there are these things called domains, in a weakly magnetised nail some of them will be pointing north, south, east and west, but however in a strongly magnetised nail all the domains will point to north.


Is arsine polar?

Arsine would be very weakly polar. The electronegativity difference between As and H is very slight. Therefore the bonds would be very weakly polar. The molecule has an unsymmetrical shape, favoring a dipole moment. The lone pair of electrons may contribute to its polarity also.


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).


Is alpha strongly or weakly ionising?

alpha particle is a strong ionizer as its mass is heavy and hence its kinetic energy is more.


What is the pH of a healthy pond?

Neutral 7 - Weakly acidic 6.5. Ponds don't need to be strongly acidic because they will harm the animals living inside it.


Magnets repel what elements?

A good periodic table will have a symbol telling you which elements are ferromagnetic (strongly attracted by magnets), paramagnetic (weakly attracted by magnets), or diamagnetic (weakly repelled by magnets). Pyrolytic carbon is fairly strongly diamagnetic, as is bismuth. A lot of other elements (including mercury, silver, lead and copper) are diamagnetic to a lesser degree. I've linked to a table showing which are which for many (but not all) elements.
