hello,a magnet has several poles for every atom of a magnet has n,s poles.a bar magnet has two poles ,a ring magnet has no poles.so if a shape is different the atoms are arranged differenrtly and thus it affects its magnetism

Would magnets attract to a paperclip under water?

magnets dont lose their magnetism under water. According to me magnets do attract paper under water.


Can the strength of natural magnets be increased?

The strength of natural magnets be increased in various ways. Artificial magnetism can be induced so as to increase magnetism.


Does shape effect the magnetic repulsion between two magnets?

Yes, the shape of the magnets can affect the magnetic repulsion between them. Different shapes can influence the magnetic field distribution and how the magnetic forces interact with each other. For example, two magnets with a larger surface area in contact will experience stronger repulsion compared to two magnets with a smaller contact area.


What characteristics exists in magnets that does not exist in materials that lack magnetism?

Magnets have domains of aligned magnetic moments, resulting in a macroscopic magnetic field, which is not present in non-magnetic materials. Additionally, magnets exhibit magnetic hysteresis, the ability to retain magnetic properties after being magnetized, which is absent in materials lacking magnetism. Lastly, magnets can attract or repel other magnets or magnetic materials, a behavior not seen in non-magnetic materials.


What is true of permanent magnets?

Permanent magnets retain their magnetism without the need for an external magnetic field. They are typically made of materials such as iron, cobalt, and nickel, and have north and south poles that attract or repel each other. Their strength and duration of magnetism depend on factors like material composition and manufacturing process.
