What happens if you put a magnet on a lamp?
It depends on the type of lamp and the strength of the magnet. An incandescent lamp works literally by running current through the filament to heat it. Parts of the bulb might be magnetic, so if the magnet were ridiculously powerful it might deform or break them. Fluorescent and Neon lamps use ionization, so although I haven't tried it, I'd bet a reasonably strong magnet might affect them. If you have an old CRT-based television or computer monitor you can see how this works by placing a magnet near it -- note, this can cause permanent effects to the picture quality, so either keep the magnet at a distance where the effect is minimal or use a CRT you don't care about. LED lamps are so small and well-constructed that I think they're more like incandescent lamps -- a really powerful magnet might damage them, but otherwise is unlikely to affect them.
Why does the magnet attract iron objects?
the magnet attracts to iron by the magnetic field both the iron and the magnet have
Can be separated by using a magnet?
can be separated by using a magnet
What type of magnet is lodestone?
Lodestone is an example of a natural magnet.
Can a magnet ruin a ps3?
well if a yellow light of deaf from overheating (witch mine did) a magnet can
What kind of magnet can vary its strength and polarity?
Electromagnet
What kind of magnet can vary its strength polarity?
an electromagnet
What type of magnet can vary its strength and polarity?
electromagnet
What factors control the strength of an electromagnet?
The strength of an electromagnet is determined by the density of coils surrounding the magnet, and the rate of current passing through those coils.
What is a lifting magnet?
A lifting magnet is an electromagnet that is meant to hold or move material that comes in contact with the magnet. This is the opposite of a traction magnet.
What kind of magnet has its strength and poles set by the manufacturer?
electromagnet
What is an electromgnet?
An electromagnet is a magnet that runs on electricity. Unlike a permanent magnet, the strength of an electromagnet can easily be changed by changing the amount of electric current that flows through it. The poles of an electromagnet can even be reversed by reversing the flow of electricity.
What controls the strength of a magnet made with electric current?
The strength of a magnet(electromagnet) made by flowing electric current through a conducting coil depends on magnitude of current. . .
Can an electromagnet lift metal at a water depth of 300 feet?
The magnet on the surface and the metal 300 ft down - no. Lowering the magnet to the metal, then lifting - yes.
What effect does decreasing the number of coils around the nail have on the strength of the electromagnet?
Decreasing the number of coils reduces the strength of the magnet.
Would increasing the length of a rod in an electromagnet increase it's magnetism?
No, as in this case,the rod is the magnet,and the strength of a magnet does not depend on its size.
What does the strength of an electromagnet depend on?
It depends on electrical current,the number of winding,and core materials <3
