Other elements - nonmetals - cannot maintain a dense and ordered enough structure that is needed for a net magnetic field to be generated.

How can you determine if a drill bit is made of metal?

To determine if a drill bit is made of metal, you can use a magnet. If the magnet sticks to the drill bit, it is likely made of metal.

How can you test something to see if its metal?

You can use a magnet to test if something is metal. If the magnet sticks to the object, it is likely made of metal. Another way is to check for properties like conductivity or density, which can also indicate if something is metal.


What makes a refrigerator a magnet?

The refrigerator isn't actually a magnet, it it simply made of metal which magnets can then stick to.


Can a magnet and metal propel?

Magnets are most commonly made out of metal, so yes, two metal magnets can repel. But metals such as iron are attracted to magnets even if the metal itself is not magnetized. Iron is attracted to both poles of a magnet, and it can not be repelled by a magnet.


When you rub a magnet with metal what happens to the metal object?

When you rub a magnet with metal, the metal object becomes temporarily magnetized. This happens because the atoms in the metal align with the magnetic field of the magnet. However, once the magnet is removed, the metal object loses its magnetism.


Why does the magnet stick to the refrigerator?

The magnet sticks to the refrigerator because the metal surface of the refrigerator is ferromagnetic, meaning it can be magnetized. When the magnet comes into contact with the metal, the magnetic domains within the metal align with the magnetic field of the magnet, creating an attraction that causes the magnet to stick.


Is a magnet a metal?

Not necessarily. Permanent magnets are usually made of metals; on the other hand, ANY substance through which a current flows becomes a magnet, and such a substance need not be a metal. For example, a liquid with ions in it can conduct an electrical current.


How a magenet is made?

It depends on the type of magnet, most magnets are "made" they are cut into their shape. Electromagnets are pieces of metal that when a current is run through them develop a magnet charge.
