Does rust change a magnets power of attraction?
yes.The iron oxide will change with aligned magentic quality in iron.
Do car magnets cause rust?
Car magnets doesn't cause rust.
Do magnets attach to rust?
Magnets are attracted to anything with iron in it. Rust is Iron Oxide, so yes!
Are rusty magnets as strong as magnets that are not rusty?
The Rust affects the magnet. The magnetic energy won't work as well cause it has to work thru the rust. So no, rusty magnets are not as strong as a nonrusty magnet
How long does it take for magnets to rust?
5 months
Will a magnet attract a thumbtack?
The answer is yes, it will be attracted, and that because of the fact that the electrons that are loose between the atoms of the iron ( and every metal ) have a spin set by the general law of pauli ( hund's law ) so as that their magnetic quantum number is maximum . If one adds these quantum numbers ( spins ) it will be observable that iron in any form ( rusty or not ) is eligible to being attracted by a magnet since each of its electrons' energy is slightly changed due to their spins thus creating a dipole.
Is rust attracted to magnets?
yes it is because the compounds of metal is still in the rust which the magnet pulls by its magnet field with the power of positive and negative energy rubbing against eac other creating a magnetic ull which pull an metal even if there is only one atom of metal left in the rust.
What kind of change is rust?
Rust is a chemical change.
What makes refrigerator magnets rust?
The wearing of it being opened and closed so much.
Why isn't rust attracted to magnets?
because it is decomposing metal and decomposing metal does not attract to magnetics
Can magnets crumble or flake with age?
It's possible. Magnets usually have a good deal of iron in them, particularly the older ones. Iron can rust or otherwise be attacked, depending on the conditions under which it is stored. Magnets are generally suseptible to corrosion.
Will magnets on refrigerator door mess up ice maker?
My dad told me that I should not put magnets on my refrigerator door that it makes the door rust form the inside out? Is there any truth to that?
