How are magnets attracted to other magnets?
Magnets are attracted to each other due to their magnetic fields. Opposite poles (north and south) attract each other, while like poles (north and north, south and south) repel. This attraction is a result of the alignment and interaction of the magnetic domains within the magnets.
Will a magnet stick to tin?
Not to pure tin. Magnets stick to things with iron in them.
What do magnets not stick to?
Generally speaking, magnets will only stick to ferromagnetic materials, made of either iron, nickel or cobalt. Anything else probably won't stick.
Can you have a magnet with three poles?
No, magnets can only have two poles: a north pole and a south pole. This is a fundamental property of magnets based on their internal magnetic field alignment.
Does real gold and silver stick to magnets?
No, real gold and silver are not magnetic materials, so they do not stick to magnets. Magnets only attract materials that contain iron, nickel, or cobalt.
Can magnets have only a North Pole?
Some scientists assume they exist, but one has never been found. You can read the wikipedia article for some interesting (albeit complex) information on the subject.
Magnets only stick to?
magnets only attract:ion, nickel and magnesium
How are temporary and permanent magnets alike?
Both temporary and permanent magnets generate a magnetic field, attracting objects made of magnetic materials. They both have a north and south pole and can be used in a variety of applications such as motors, generators, and sensors.
Why magnet rest in north - south direction only?
Magnets align themselves in a north-south direction because of Earth's magnetic field. The Earth itself acts like a giant bar magnet, with its magnetic north pole near the geographic south pole and vice versa. This causes magnets to orient themselves in a north-south direction when placed freely.
Do magnets attract all objects?
No. Magnets can pull other magnets towards them, or push them away from them. If a magnet's north pole points towards another magnets north pole (or a south pole towards a south pole), they will repel, instead of pulling them towards them. On the other hand, if a magnet is brought near a piece of iron that is not already magnetic, it will induce magnetism in the iron, in such a way that the two magnets will attract one another. Yet on the other hand, magnets have hardly any influence on most substances.
What does repel mean in a magnet?
In magnets, repel means the force that pushes two like magnetic poles apart. This occurs when two north poles or two south poles come into proximity. The repelling force is a fundamental property of magnets based on their magnetic fields.
What kind of materials do magnets stick to?
Magnets stick to materials that are ferromagnetic, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt. They can also stick to materials that are attracted to magnets, like steel. Materials like copper, aluminum, and plastic are not attracted to magnets.
