Why do magnets react to temperature?
Well, what I know is that when a magnet reaches a certain temperature,it hits a Curie Point. That is a really high temp that makes a magnet lose it's magnetic properties.
What distinguishes a permanent magnet from a temporary magnet?
Permanent magnets do not lose their magnetic ability. Temporary magnets, however, gain magnetic properties when they are touched or moved by a permanent magnet. The properties of a temporary magnet dissipates over time after the permanent magnet is removed.
What make magnet lose its magnetism if it is?
Magnets can lose their magnetic properties if exposed to high heat or are made subject to high impact. The temperature at which magnets lose magnetic properties is referred to as the Curie Temperature for ferromagnetic materials.
What are the physical properties of Pyrite?
It is a natural magnet that attracts iron.
Why should you never drop a magnet on the floor?
It will lose its magnetic field. The vibrations made from the drop charge the electrons and make them move out of the line that they were in, this causes the magnet to lose its magnetism.
What will happen to poles in a magnet when you cut a magnet in two?
Nothing happens, except that now you have two magnets. The poles of a magnet are not actually localized at the two ends of the magnet but are inherent to the magnetic properties of the magnet. As the magnetic properties are not altered by a modification of the magnet such as cutting it in half, there will be no effect on the poles of the magnet.
Can hot and cold affect magnets?
yes it does affect magnets ! though cold has little effect on the properties of a magnet , but heat drastically brings about change in properties of a magnet. With increasing temperature, the magnet will gradually lose magnetization until a certain temperature (called the Curie temperature) where the magnetization goes away entirely. In addition to this effect, the domains of the magnet will have a greater chance of changing orientation, further weakening the overall magnetic effect.
Does most material have magnetic properties?
No, all materials do not have magnetic property. But if an iron is rubbed with a natural magnet,gets the properties of magnet.
What a moving magnet makes?
makes current flow through a magnet
Explain in brief the properties of magnet?
A magnet has both a South pole and a North pole. The magnetic properties of a magnet come from the alignment of electrons inside of the magnet. The North pole of a magnet will repel another North pole, but attract a South pole, and vice versa.
Is the north pole of a magnet tinged properties minus and the south pole of a magnet tinged properties plus?
No. While electricity and magnetism are closely connected, the poles of a magnet no not correspond with electrical charges.
What is the difference between a permanent magnet and a temporary magnet?
Temporary magnet: good example is an electromagnet. It maintains magnetic attraction only so long as an electric current surrounds it. Permanent magnet: most common. Example: bar magnet. Will maintain magnetic properties for quite a while, although they can be eventually demagnetized.
