If the iron atoms are aligned then the object is magnetic,

if they are randomly oriented then it is not.

How the object was manufactured may be the cause of the difference,

but it always possible to intentionally either magnetize OR demagnetize an object.

When is an object magnetic?

All objects are magnetic. Some are ferromagnetic (strongly attracted to magnets), some are paramagnetic (weakly attracted to magnets), and some are diamagnetic (weakly repelled by magnets).


Why are some pieces of iron more magnetic than others?

It is because some of the metallic objects are more magnetic than each other(more iron than each other).


What are clusters of aligned atoms in iron and some other metals?

magnetic alignment


Why are some irons more magnetic than other irons?

Why are some objects magnetic and others are not?

It all depends on the way in which the iron's 'domains' are aligned. Iron is inherently magnetic as a material, but can become demagnetized as time goes on, due to sudden impact or when affected by another magnetic source. For iron to become magnetized 'domains' need to be in parallel with each other so the magnetic field created all flows in the same direction. An unmagnetized iron source has all of its domains misaligned A brief explanation of domains are a series of positive and negative charged atomic particles within the iron itself which behaves much like tiny magnets themselves.


Is bone magnetic?

No, bones are not magnetic. They do not contain enough iron or other magnetic materials to exhibit magnetic properties. Although bones do contain some iron, it is not in a form that would create a magnetic field.


Are silver plated objects magnetic?

Silver plated objects are typically not magnetic because silver is a non-magnetic metal. If the base metal beneath the silver plating is magnetic, such as iron or steel, then the object may exhibit some magnetic properties.


Is gray iron magnetic?

Yes, gray iron is generally considered to be magnetic. It contains a high amount of carbon and graphite, which can influence its magnetic properties. While it is not as magnetic as some other ferrous materials, gray iron can still exhibit magnetic behavior, especially when subjected to external magnetic fields. However, its magnetic properties may vary based on the specific composition and processing of the iron.


Is a soil magnetic material or a non magnetic material?

it generally depends on the soil content~if it is rich in iron or some other magnetic metals it will magnetize but if it don't it won't..soil is non-magnetic but iron filings in it are magnetic


What is the difference between the magnetic properties of iron and steel?

Compounds of metals, steel and other materials that the alloy is known. It is pure iron.
