A magnet which doesn't lose it's magnetic effect when it's away from another magnet .
Steel magnets are usually permanent magnets , while those made of iron lose their magnetism , as soon as the original magnet is held away . I simply mean that :-
For example , when you use a magnet to attract a paperclip ( or a nail ) made of iron , and you attach a second paperclip to the first one , while still holding the first one to the magnet , the 2nd will still be held to the 1st .
As soon as you remove the magnet , the magnetism between the 1st and the 2nd clips will be broken down , and they will fall down .
But if you use nails ( or paperclips ) made of steel , the magnetism between the 1st and the 2nd nail will still be there , even if the original magnet is held away from the 1st .
A. Compasses typically use a permanent magnet.
Yes, it is a permanent magnet.
No, it's a permanent magnet. It consists of an iron oxide, and iron is a permanent magnet.
PermanentThere is no source of current in a compass, therefore the magnet is a permanent magnet.
When a magnet is attached to a permanent magnet, it can become temporarily magnetized by aligning its magnetic domains with the strong magnetic field of the permanent magnet. This alignment causes the magnet to exhibit magnetic properties for a short period of time.
The magnet in a compass is a permanent magnet. It retains its magnetism without the need for an external electrical current.
Perminant magnet
No, it's a permanent magnet. It consists of an iron oxide, and iron is a permanent magnet.
It is a permanent magnet. Electromagnets(as the name suggests) requires an electric source to become a magnet, when the power source is turned off it will not function as a magnet.
