How do compases use magnets?
A compass would not work without a magnet. Inside the compass is a magnet which moves to line up with the Earth's natural magnetism. The north pole of the magnet is attracted to the south pole of the Earth. As such, the magnet moves to always be lining up in this way. When you use a magnet, you can see this in action as the needle moves around to always point northward and from knowing this, you can tell which way you are facing.How_does_a_compass_use_magnetismHow_does_a_compass_use_magnetismHow_does_a_compass_use_magnetismRead more: How_does_a_compass_use_magnetism
What side is a magnet stronger?
The two sides of a magnet are called the north and south poles. Typically, the magnet is stronger at its poles rather than its sides. The strength of a magnet is usually concentrated at the poles, where the magnetic field lines are closer together and more forceful.
Is lighting attracted to electricity?
A fundamental law of electrostatics is that opposite charges attract. You've figured out that like charges repel. Couple this with the idea that only negative charges more (the electrons), and you're on your way to an investigation of how electrostatics works.
How does a magnet attract pins?
Stroke a magnet down the length of the pin repeatedly. The proximity and movement of the magnet along the pin cause some of the iron molecules to become aligned like those in the magnet. The more strokes, the stronger the magnetic field in the pin will become, up to a certain threshold (the number of iron molecules available and able to align in the pin is limited).
How do you get magnetism?
You can get magnetism by connecting 2 ends of a wire to a battery. make sure the wire is long enough. the more coil you have the stronger the magnet will be. This is just one way to make magnetism.
An iron nail is more strongly attracted to the?
An iron nail is more strongly attracted to the magnet than to the wooden box the magnet is stored in.
Why does a compass needle spin toward the magnet when yu put it near a magnet?
The compass is a magnet too; and magnets attract each other. More specifically, the north pole of one magnet is attracted by the south pole of another magnet.The compass is a magnet too; and magnets attract each other.

What objects are atracted to a magnet?
Every object is attracted by magnets. Some more, some much less.
Is mercury attracted to a magnet?
Mercury, although it does posses some interesting physical and chemical properties, should not be attracted to a magnet. It is considered to be diamagnetic, which means it would actually oppose a magnetic field and repel. If you have more questions on mercury or diamagnetism.

What positive thinking really means?
It Means more Negitive people will be attracted to you.
What is a not affected by a magnet?
Plastic,rubber,wood,cement,clay...and many more
Is red or black positive on a lawn mower battery?
More often than not, the red cable hooks up to the positive post on the battery. There should be a mark on or by each battery post to indicate whether it is the positive (+) or the negative (-) post.
How do you supercharge a magnet?
You can supercharge a magnet by coiling a metal wire around a magnet then hooking both ends of the wire to a battery. Make sure the wire can conduct electricity and the more coils around the magnet, the better.
Why some metals are attracted by magnet while some metals are not attracted by magnets what differences them?
Magnetism occurs only in materials where the electrical charge is unevenly distributed, so that there is more positive charge in one part and more negative charge in another part. I n most materials, the electrical charge is distributed uniformly, in a perfectly spherical manner; however, when this is not possible, the material is said to have a magnetic "dipole" and, if these dipoles line up in the same direction, then the resulting magnetic field can affect the dipoles in other materials and it is called a "magnet".
What is the reason that a cold magnet is stronger than a hot or room temperature magnet?
A cold magnet attracts more than a hot magnet. This helps the flow of electricity which therefore helps the electric field, which therefore helps the magnetic field. They use cold magnets to power the LHC which collides hydrogen atoms. Obviously the cold magnet is very attracting.
How does a fridge door magnet work?
There is a magnet on the door of the fridge and this is attracted to the metal on the fridge. This closes the door. This method makes it easier to close refrigerator doors and also makes it more likely that you've actually closed the door.
