Is magnetic field from lodestone powerful?

Lodestone, a naturally magnetized form of magnetite, has a relatively weak magnetic field compared to artificial magnets. While it can attract small metal objects and demonstrate magnetic properties, its strength is limited and not suitable for industrial applications. The magnetic field of lodestone is often strong enough for basic demonstrations and educational purposes, but it is not considered powerful in the context of modern magnetism.


Why does the magnet attract iron objects?

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.
