Yes. Placing a rotating magnet below it can generate a magnetic field that creates a spin in the suspended magnet. If the magnet is mounted on a low-friction axis, bringing an opposite pole toward one side of the magnet, then removing it, will add force to spin it for awhile.

Can you spin a magnet continusly with another magnet?

The words to describe what you are asking is basically "is perpetual motion possible" The answer in reality is no. In a perfect environment with no friction, it could theoretically be possible. but the energy required to spin one magnet would be the exact amount of maximum energy that the other magnet can exert. Unfortunately friction in the air, and the bases where the magnets are positioned on also soak up the energy, therefor the magnet can never output enough force on the other magnet to keep it spinning.


What is formed when you spin electrons in a magnet?

It doesn't work like that. You can't make an electron have spin, remove its spin, or change the amount of its spin.What happens in a permanent magnet is that more electrons have their spin axis in one direction than in the opposite direction. Since the spin is associated with a magnetic field, that results in magnetism that can be observed externally.


What will happen to a spherical magnet when it enters the magnetic field of a bar magnet?

The magnet will move towards the south pole


Do magnets make electricity?

No. Magnets create an electric feild, not electricity.However, when you spin a magnet inside a coil of wire (or you can spin the coil of wire instead), you will create an electrical current.

No.


How do magnets attract and please explain?

Most of the outer electrons in the metal alloy that make up the magnet spin in the same direction and in the same plane. This causes a magnetic field to surround the magnet. This magnetic field interacts with the outer electrons in other materials and if they too can be made to spin in the sme direction and will be attracted to the magnet. If the other material is a permanent magnet the fields can interact to attract each other or repel each other.

How can you create a magnet?

...... rub a needle/other piece of metal against a magnet? I know that if you do that with a needle, then put the needle on top of some water, it will spin to point north.
