Magnetism is what type of property?

Magnetism is a physical property that describes the attraction or repulsion between certain materials such as iron and steel. It is caused by the alignment of magnetic dipoles in the material, creating a magnetic field around the object.


Do magnets lose their magnatism when heated?

In depends upon how hot you are talking about. Cold would be my best answer in general. If you are comparing the magnetism between say 10 below zero and 100 F then there would be no discernable difference. If you should heat the metal to red-hot, the magnetism would be lost after the metal has cooled.


Is the force of magnetism stopped by any materials?

they redirect the magnetic field. for instance, a material known as mu-metal attracts all of the magnetism to it, thus redirecting the magnetic field away form other stuff. kinda like a faraday shield redirects electrons, mumetal redirects magnetism. the basic principal here is that some materials "want" magnetism more than others. thus you can put the magnet near it, and it will "hog" all of the magnetism. hope that's scientific enough :)


What causes magnetism in a magnet?

Magnetism is caused when all the atoms of a metal like lodestone, iron, cobalt, nickel, or gadolinium are lined up in one direction. If this happens during the cooling process, after being melted, it will result in a permanent magnet


How does magnetism affect the planets?

Magnetism affects planets in various ways. Planets like Earth have magnetic fields generated by the movement of molten metal in their cores, which protect them from solar wind and cosmic radiation. Magnetism also plays a role in the formation of planetary auroras and can influence the behavior of charged particles in a planet's magnetosphere.

Is magnetisation the same as magnetism?

Magnetization is the process of inducing magnetism in a paramagnetic metal.


Can an electric current be used to deflect a compass needle?

Yes, an electric current can create a magnetic field that can deflect a compass needle. This phenomenon is known as the Oersted Effect and demonstrates the relationship between electricity and magnetism.


How do you show that electric current causes magnetism?

Put a wire carrying an electric current near a compass and it causes the needle to deflect.


Is magnetism a physical property of iron?

Yes, iron is a ferromagnetic metal.


What is an iron a non metal metalloids or metal?

Iron is a metal. Specifically, it is a transition metal known for its strength and ability to retain magnetism.


What causes magnets to attract the refridgereator?

The force is called "magnetism". The refrigerator is not magnetic, but the magnet will temporarily induce magnetism in the refrigerator's metal - the part that is close to the magnet.


What is the name of The force that attracts metal to a magnet?

The force that attracts metal to a magnet is called magnetism. Magnetism is a natural phenomenon that arises from the movement of electrons within the atoms of the material, creating a magnetic field that can attract certain metals like iron, nickel, and cobalt.


How does an electric current in a wire deflect with electricity and magnetism?

When an electric current flows through a wire, it creates a magnetic field around the wire. If this wire is placed in the presence of another magnetic field, the two fields can interact, causing the wire to deflect. This phenomenon is known as the magnetic deflection of an electric current.


How does the stroking method work in magnetism?

The stroking method involves repeatedly stroking a magnet in the same direction along a piece of metal to align the domains of the metal and magnetize it. This process helps induce magnetism in the metal by aligning its domains with the magnetic field of the magnet. It is a simple and effective technique to create temporary magnets.


Does the compass point directly to the magnetic North if the compass is located near a large metal object?

Depends what the metal is made of: an iron object will deflect a magnetic field, but not an aluminum one.
