All magnets have a magnetic field If the object that you want to move by using the magnet is with in the magnets magnetic field it will move.

Does an object warped around a wire has more magnetism?

yes


How does the weight of a magnet affect its strength?

Magnetism is the number of magnetic moments per unit of volume. It is the volume of the magnet which determines the magnetism. If an object has great weight and great volume, it will be a strong magnet. If an object has great weight but lesser volume, the magnetism will be weaker.


What is induced magnetism?

In the simplest terms, Induced Magnetism is the magnetism of an object as a result of an external influence. Typically, the external influence is a magnetic field due to another object. (One also hears the term transient magnetism applied to the same phenomenon. To be considered transient, the magnetism must disappear when the external influence disappears, but to be "induced" it just has to appear.) Though this is a technical term, it has a meaning that is the normal meaning of "induced," as in "caused by." This is to be contrasted with other modifiers, like "permanent magnetism" or "remnant magnetism" or "spontaneous magnetism" which are all still magnetism of an object but with a modifier further describing the magnetic state. If one is being more technical, then in scientific circles the term "induced magnetism" usually refers the situation where an object acquires a magnetic field as a result of it being in some external magnetic field even though it is not normally a magnetized material. One see this all the time. If you bring a permanent magnet near a collection of paperclips, then the paperclips all attach to one another and to the permanent magnet. Each paperclip has become, temporarily, a magnet. If the permanent magnet is removed, the paperclips no longer attach to one another. The magnetic properties of the paperclips were "induced" and not a permanent characteristic. More technicalities can be present with this term, because magnetism in an object can be induced in other ways than the application of a magnetic field. In the absence of such technical considerations, it is safe to assume that the term "induced magnetism" just means a temporary state of magnetization of an object induced by an external magnetic field provided by a permanent magnet or an electromagnet.


What statements describes electromagnetism?

Magnetism can cause electrons to flow, and electricity can make a wire magnetic.


what is responsible for electricity?

Electricity is the movement of electrons between atoms. It is inexorably linked to magnetism (and light) - moving electrons create a magnetic field and a magnetic field will cause electrons to move in a conductor and when electrons lose energy light is created.

How can magnetism move the object?

Magnetism is one of the fundamental forces of nature. It is akin to saying why does gravity exist. The world just seems to work that way!


How do electricity and magnetism object?

they can either push or pull on an object .


What is required for a force to work on an object?

The force must cause the object to move.


How do you move things without touching them or blowing them?

Other alternatives, apart from touching and blowing, include interactions with other objects (for example, when you pull a tablecloth, the objects on top of it will move; or you can hit an object with another object), and magnetism. Also electrostatic energy can move objects.


What is the attraction of a magnet for another object?

Magnetism


Does magnetism affects friction?

Yes, magnetism is a force. Any force applied to an object will either increase or decrease the friction between that object and an adjacent surface.


What is required for a force to do work on an object?

in the same direction as the object's motion.


What is a force that cause an object move in circle?

A force that could cause a object to move in a circle would be centripetal force. That is a product of mass and centripetal acceleration. It is quite a bit complicated.


What force can cause an object at rest to move or it can accelerate an object that is already moving?

Any force.


How can force cause object to move?

well that's easy force is a push or a pull on an object


What does electricity and magnetism create?

force when it strikes a object.


Can a force act to cause an object at rest to move?

An example of force being used to move a stationary object is when you push a door open.
