When do magnets attract?
Magnets attract when the south side of a magnet is facing towards the north side of another magnet. If the sides are both north or south the magnet will then repel. ( Opposites attract and Likes repel )
What are metals that magnets would not attract?
Generally, non-ferrous one (those that do not contain iron) Cobalt and nickel are slightly attracted by magnets.
What is the function of a horseshoe electromagnet?
Hello, Well, these magnets have many uses and it depends on which field of science you are looking at. But for this question I guess I would have to list a few examples. A horseshoe magnet gives a uniform field between the poles of the magnet at the ends. Because of this, these magnets can be widely used in experiments to see what happens when a current carrying wire is placed in a magnetic field and moved around. A simple horseshoe magnet isn't practically useful in like generating electricity, but its strenght can be amplified by joining two magnets to form a radial field. The same effect, i.e creating a uniform field can be brought about by using two flat and wide magnets parallel. In other words, one usage of it would be to demonstrate a simple electric motor. Hope I Helped
What is atracted to magnets?
Well it would have to be something that also has magnetic properties. Remember that similar poles/charges repel and opposites attract. So as far as what would be attracted by a magnetic force, I would say anything that is metal and has magnetic properties.
The orientation of two bar magnets that would attract each other and two bar magnets that would repel each other?
Yes, because the keepers are made up of iron, when the magnet is in contact with it they become temporary magnet. Keepers also have a useful safety function as they stop external metal being attracted to the magnet.

A good description of magnets would be Magnets are .?
polar things that can attract iron
Would magnets attract to a paperclip under water?
magnets dont lose their magnetism under water. According to me magnets do attract paper under water.
What would happen if you put the north and the south poles of two magnets together?
If you put the north and the south poles of two magnets together they will attract each other. By, Fatema Aftab
Does iron attract magnet?
It would be more accurate to say that magnets attract iron (but under the Newtonian principle that for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction, if magnets attract iron, then iron attracts magnets, so yes).
When would 2 horshoe magnets attract each other?
because they do !!!!!!! also when north faces somewhere forgot
What are facts about magnets that kids would like to know?
Kids might like to know that magnets have two poles (North and South), that opposite poles attract, that magnets attract certain metals but not all, and that magnets are used in the creation of electricity.
What is an example of a situation where it would be best to use certain types of magnets to attract different types of objects?
Electro magnets can be used to attract metals temperarily while permanent magnet would be used for compasses.
Why is it inadvisable to make a horseshoe magnet from a flexible material?
A horseshoe magnet has a North pole one one of the feet and a south pole on the other. A magnet made of flexible material would collapse on itself as the two poles attract.
How many kinds of magnets are they?
only one... but there are difrent shapes...
What are metals that magnets would not attract?
Generally, non-ferrous one (those that do not contain iron) Cobalt and nickel are slightly attracted by magnets.
What happen if you put two south pole magnets together?
If you put two south pole magnets together, they would repel each other (the force would push the two magnets away from each other). Only north pole and south pole attract each other. Short answer- you would have a hard time getting the two south poles to touch! Hope this helped! =D
