Magnets were an accidental discovery made by Chinese laborers when they discovered bits of polarized iron bits clung to their shovels. Magnets had many practical uses other than a mere curiosity. To show direction in compasses and to attract steel and iron. They have many practical uses even today. Construction, navigation, and to hold paper on refrigerators.

What is artificial magnets?
artificial magnets are those where you make magnets which are mostly called as electromagnet which can be a magnet permanently or temporarily until you provide electricity
What are the differences between natural magnets and artificial magnets?
magnet which we get naturally from earth is called natural magnet e.g: lodestone.. while magnet made from magnetic material is called artificial magnet ...
Can magnets pushing magnets make a wheel spin?
Yes!
How and where are magnets used in places of work?
The main use of magnets in workplaces is for the transfer of electrical waves into tools, drills, saws, etc. They make use of magnets.
Is magnetism consider a form of energy?
yes magnet is energy, surprisingly. magnets have at least one north pole and south pole, which make magnets have energy. Magnets provide energy. When you have two magnets and they are pushing against each other, that is how magnets provide energy. Magnets are better for the enviornment, because magnets are pollution-free.

What are magnets and artificial magnets?
since magnets are all ready magnetised when found in nature called natural magnet artificial magnets that are made by man are called artificial magnets
What are the example of Artificial magnet?
The examples of artificial magnets are u shaped magnet or horse shoe magnets , dumb bell magnets , cylindrical magnets etc..
Are electro magnets sometimes called artificial magnets?
Yes, electromagnets itself is an artificial magnet.
What kinds of magnets are there?
Both artificial and natural magnets.
What is the name of a man made magnet?
Man-made or Synthetic magnets are stronger than natural magnets and have many uses including alternative medicine (magnet therapy for Arthritis & Rheumatism), fridge/car magnets, they are also widely used in manufacturing. Made from a Nickle, Aluminium and cobalt (AlNiCo) compound they are magnetized by placing them in a machine which produces a strong electromagnetic field.
What are the differences between natural magnets and artificial magnets?
magnet which we get naturally from earth is called natural magnet e.g: lodestone.. while magnet made from magnetic material is called artificial magnet ...
Why do you make artificial magnets?
The material found in nature, Magnetite, is not suitable for some of the needs of today. High density, rare earth magnets are made to very different requirements than any natural rock can cover.
Can the strength of natural magnets be increased?
The strength of natural magnets be increased in various ways. Artificial magnetism can be induced so as to increase magnetism.
What are cylindrical magnets?
A cylindrical magnet is an artificial magnet. It is made of iron, cobalt and nickel.
Natural Magnets and Artificial magnets?
No.The "only" magnets of any use readily available in nature is lodestones.These are not very strong, but it does depend on their quality and size of course.We can these days manufacture many different magnets for various purposes. Most of the man made magnets are stronger than what nature has to offer if we measure performance versus weight.An artificial magnet today (or an array of them, but still easy to lift for a strong man) can easily lift many tons of iron.
Can magnets pushing magnets make a wheel spin?
Yes!
