Magnetic materials are attracted to magnets. These primarily include: steel, cobalt and nickel and some of their alloys magnets attract various other substances besides pure iron . Some ceramics have slight attraction to magnets.

Non magnetic materials are not attracted to magnets. These include common metals such as copper, aluminum and brass. eg. non-magnetic substances are wood, glass, copper plastic and rubber

What exists between the two poles of a magnet?

A magnetic field exists between the two poles of a magnet. This field is the region where magnetic forces are active and can influence other magnetic materials or objects within its proximity.


Different magnetic deviation and magnetic variation?

In relation to aviation... Deviation is the difference between a true heading and the compass heading. The compass heading is different from true due to magnetic fields induced by the components of the aircraft. Variation is the difference (angle) between True North and Magnetic North. Variation changes depending on your position and is normally indicated on maps as a dashed line with the variation in degrees along that particular line.


Distinguish between ferrous and nonferrous materials?

Ferrous materials contain iron as a major constituent, such as steel and cast iron, while nonferrous materials do not contain iron, like copper, aluminum, and lead. Ferrous materials are magnetic, have higher strength, and are prone to rust, whereas nonferrous materials are non-magnetic, have lower strength, and are generally more resistant to corrosion.


What does magnetism refer to?

A magnetic field is generated when electric charge carriers such as electrons move through space or within an electrical conductor.


What will happen to a compass needle when an aluminium bar is kept in between them?

The compass needle will be unaffected by the presence of the aluminium bar as it is not magnetic. Aluminium is not a magnetic material, so it will not interfere with the function of the compass needle.

What is the difference between magnetic materials and non-magnetic materials?

Magnetic materials are materials that can be magnetized and can create a magnetic field, such as iron and nickel. Non-magnetic materials do not respond to magnetic fields and cannot be magnetized, such as wood and plastic.


What is the difference between dia- and paramagnetic materials in terms of their magnetic properties?

Diamagnetic materials are weakly repelled by magnetic fields, while paramagnetic materials are weakly attracted to magnetic fields.


What is the difference between ferromagnetic and paramagnetic materials in terms of their magnetic properties?

Ferromagnetic materials have strong and permanent magnetic properties, meaning they can be magnetized and retain their magnetism. Paramagnetic materials have weaker and temporary magnetic properties, meaning they can be magnetized but do not retain their magnetism once the external magnetic field is removed.


What is the difference between a strong and a weak magnetic field?

A strong magnetic field has a higher magnetic flux density than a weak magnetic field. This means that a strong magnetic field exerts a greater force on nearby magnetic materials compared to a weak magnetic field. Additionally, strong magnetic fields are more effective for magnetizing materials or creating magnetic induction.


Do magnets repel non magnetic materials?

No, a magnet does NOT have the ability to attract materials that are NON-magnetic (unless it has something magnetic on it, or has magnetic material in it). Duhhh!!! I'm in seventh grade and even I know that!!! ; )


Difference between the magnetic tape and cassette tape?

No difference - a cassette contains magnetic tape.


What is the difference between magnetic metal and nonmagnetic metal?

When magnetic material is kept in a magnetic field then it experiences a force. when nonmagnetic material is placed then there is no force acting on it. If you know, the origin of magnetism, you will find that when the electrons of any substance cancel the total charge of each other(produced by their spinning and moving around the nucleus) then that sub. is non-magnetic.


What is the difference between electromagnetism and magnetism?

Electromagnetism is a branch of physics that deals with the interaction between electric currents and magnetic fields, while magnetism is a property of certain materials that allows them to attract or repel other materials. In simpler terms, electromagnetism involves the relationship between electricity and magnetism, while magnetism refers to the inherent magnetic properties of certain materials.

What does the magnetic force act as?

The magnetic force acts as a pulling or pushing force between magnetic materials or moving charges. It is caused by the interaction of magnetic fields.
