Why can magnets attract objects without touching them?
Magnets have a magnetic field about them. This field can act on objects without the magnet coming in contact with the object.
Does distance affect the ability of a magnetic attraction?
Is iron has to stick to the magnet.
How is a solenoid similar to a magnet?
A solenoid acts like a magnet when an electrical current is sent through the coil. A permanent magnet is magnetic all the time. Therefore, they are similar when both act like a magnet, but not when the solenoid is turned off.
How would you describe a temporary magnet?
Any old piece of metal can be a temporary magnet; it can be made to act as a magnet for a while, then revert back to being just metal without any magnetic properties.
What does Magnestism mean?
Magnetism is used to show how attractive something is. For example, a magnet can attract a paperclip from a certain distance. The distance is its magnetism.
How is electric force like a magnet force?
They can both attract, or can repel, they can both act over a distance.
Does magnetic force decrease as distance from the magnet increases?
Yes, as the distance of the magnet increase its magnetic force decreases
Magnetic force decreases as distance from the magnet increases?
Yes, as the distance of the magnet increase its magnetic force decreases
What are the advantages and disadvantages of magnetism?
The magnet's poles( north and south) easily attracts eachother. They can attract magnets at a distance invisibly, through what we call a magnetic field. It can act a distance. It causes a pulling and pusing force on other magnets. When you move the magnet close to a object for example a nail, it will jump and pull itself to stick with the magnet.
What is the relationship between the distance. From the magnet and the strength of the magnetic force?
Magnetic force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the magnet which generates it.
Why can magnets attract objects without touching them?
Magnets have a magnetic field about them. This field can act on objects without the magnet coming in contact with the object.
Why doesn't a normal piece of magnet act like a magnet?
coz i dont know
What is the space around a magnet where the forces of the magnet act?
The space around a magnet where the force of the magnet can act is the space occupied by the magnetic field. Alternatively we say that the magnetic field acts in the space around a magnet. That is a very qualitative statement with little predictive value. More predictive value is contained in a statement that the strength of the magnetic field at any position in the vicinity of a magnet is measured by the torque which is exerted on a small magnet moment (compass) place in the vicinity of a magnet. This, recorded with the direction the test compass points is actually a mapping of the magnetic field of a magnet. As a side note, if carefully measured one discovers that strength of the field around a magnet decreases as the inverse cube of the distance when far from the magnet. The field is mostly in the volume near the magnet but the weakening field continues to exist at all distances from the magnet.
What magnets act like several combined bar magnets?
A "Neodymium magnet or Super Magnet".
What happen if vary change the distance between the magnet and the nails?
the closer the magnet is to the nails the greater the magnetic force between the magnet and the nails
Force moves an object over a distance?
magnet
Can a electromagnet act as a magnet when the source is dc?
yes it can
