When you take a nail and a paperclip and they stick together on a magnet then take the magnet away the nail and paperclip still stick together what is that called?

However, if you bring a magnet near a piece of iron, such as a nail,and the paperclip. If the paperclip does not fall then the magnetic field has the iron nail. The result is a temporary magnet called an 'electromagnet'. The magnets either stick together or are suspended in midair


How do you tell a silver coin from other coins?

One way to know a coin is not silver is to check it with a magnet. If the magnet sticks to the coin, it is not silver. If the magnet does not stick, it still might not be silver. You can test it, but to do that you need a test kit.


What happens when you break a magnet?

As you break a magnet, the remnant (broken piece) shall still remain a magnet with the same properties and poles. However, there is only so far a magnet can be broken. Visualize a magnet. Now imagine to have a knife that would keep cutting the magnet into half. It will reach a point that cutting the 'magnet' further would yield into a particle with no magnetic charge whatsoever. This is called a magnetic domain. Cutting a magnetic domain further would yield into a charge-less particle as it would be obviously incorrect to state that an atom of a magnetized steel bar would still remain a magnet.


What happens if you put a magnet in the refrigerator?

A magnet will stick to the metal surface inside the refrigerator. It will not damage the refrigerator or affect its operation in any way. The cold temperature of the refrigerator may slightly weaken the magnet's strength, but it will still function normally once removed.


Will rod magnet still become a magnet when it cut across into thin slices?

yes.when you slice a rod magnet it will still be considered as a magnet


What happens to the properties of a bar magnet if it were broken in thirds?

Each piece would become a separate magnet with its own two poles, just like the original bar magnet. Cutting a bar magnet does not eliminate its magnetic properties; each piece will still have a north and south pole.


How can a compass be used to check the strength of an electromagnet?

see if a magnet will stick to it someone who knows stuff about magnets please improve this answer. I myself do not know because a magnet will not stick to a very weak magnet but it is still magnetic. EDIT why would you answer if you don't know the answer? You stroke a bar magnet on the material and after a while it either becomes magnetic or not. unless its already magnetic which you would know straight away because it would stick to the bar magnet. sorry if any of my answer doesnt make much sense ... hope i helped someone


Can magnetism pass through fruit juice?

Magnetism CAN pass through fruit juice. If you were to use a bar magnet on the table attracting another magnet on the other side, it would still attract. Magnetic studs are a good example of magnetism because they can stick/ connect together even through the flap of the ear.


How do you make nonstick cookware not stick?

Nonstick cookware should really be called stick-resistant cookware. The non-stick coating will help prevent foods from sticking, but you still need to use a small amount of butter, fat, or oil. You use less than for stainless steel cookware, but a small amount is still necessary.


How can you test if a material is magnetic?

Using a compass; You move the compass around the object and if the hand in the compass goes mad, then it is a magnet To test how something is magnetic: See if it sticks to a magnet. It will only be magnetic if it is made from nickle, iron or cobalt. Steel is also magnetic because it is made mostly from iron. Hope this helps x


How the properties of a bar magnet would change if it were broken in half?

If a bar magnet is broken in half, each piece will become its own smaller magnet with its own north and south poles. The strength of each magnet will be weaker compared to the original bar magnet. The overall magnetic field will be distributed between the two smaller magnets.
