Electrons have their own magnetic fields. They "pair up" so that in most materials they cancel each other out, but in a few kinds of atoms such as iron, cobalt, and nickel there are several unpaired electrons and each atom winds up having an overall magnetic field. In unmagnetized iron, the atom-magnets are pointed every which way so that on average every direction has as many "north" poles as "south" poles. When you magnetize the iron, what you're really doing is making all the little atom-magnets line up in the same direction so the fields reinforce each other instead of canceling each other out.
Yes
nickel, cobalt, iron
Magnetic domains have the tendency to align with magnetic fields. The Earth's magnetic field is relatively weak, but I would expect SOME alignment.
A lodestone is a naturally occurring magnet. It is actually a piece of magnetite, Not all magnetite is magnetic.
The Earth is a naturally occurring magnet (it has a north and south pole. The mineral magnetite is also magnetic.
Lodesstone
magnetite
Yes. Not all metals are naturally magnetic.
no
Yes
Yes
Lodestone or magnetite, a naturally magnetic iron ore.
It just is not true. Even iron is not naturally magnetic.
there are three, iron cobalt and nickel
Cobalt
Magnetite- it is naturally magnetic. Graphite is carbon- non magnetic
No, lodestones are naturally occurring magnetic rocks.
