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 :)

How do friction magnetism and gravity affect's us on earth?

Friction affects us by providing traction for walking or driving, while also causing wear and tear on surfaces. Magnetism is not a significant force in our daily lives unless working with magnetic materials like iron. Gravity is responsible for keeping us grounded on Earth, providing weight, and causing objects to fall when dropped.


How does magnitiom work?

A magnet is any material or object that produces a magnetic field. This magnetic field is responsible for the property of a magnet: a force that pulls on other ferromagnetic materials and attracts or repels other magnets.


Is a bar magnet a permanent magnet?

A permanent magnet is a magnet which will keep its magnetism for a very long time and is difficult to change. No, As I think a permanent magnet means they have abilities to hold the magnetism when they are magnetized. Such as Alnico permanent magnets, but in fact, they can be demagnetized,such as high temperature, hit each other,pulse waves, out magnetic field influence...What's more, different permanent magnetic material, have different abilities on holding magnetism,they can be used in different environments. you can find some details from some manufacturers website, to learn some knowledges.


Will a magnet still be a magnet if it is melted?

A magnet is produced by aligning the magnetic domains in a material to point in the same direction. When heated, the magnet loses its magnetism as the molecular motion, which is caused by heating, destroys the alignment of the magnetic domains. Ferromagnetic materials also lose its magnetism after being melted. However, when the magnet is being hammered whilst cooling in a magnetic field, the melted magnet would gain its magnetism again.


What produces magnetism?

moving electrons, be it around iron atoms or through a wire.

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.


Is magnetism related to any type of science?

Yes, magnetism is a fundamental aspect of physics and is studied in the branch of science known as electromagnetism. It involves the study of magnetic fields, magnetic materials, and the interactions between magnetic fields and electric currents. Magnetism plays a crucial role in various scientific fields including physics, engineering, and materials science.


What is the difference between magnetism and gravity?

-- Magnetism only affects certain materials. Gravity affects all materials. -- Magnetism can repel or attract. Gravity only attracts. -- There are two kinds of magnetic characteristics. Each end of a magnetized object has one of them. There is only one kind of gravitational characteristic. Every bit of mass has it.


Does magnetism go through all materials?

yes, magnetism is a non-contact force, just because something is not magnetic doesnt mean it wont go through it, much like gravity except some things are magnetically neutral Magnetic material such as iron can shield enclosures from magnetic lines of force.


What makes materials?

Any force or action that affects the material can break the material.Gravity is also one of the force factors.

Is rice magnetic?

No, rice is not magnetic as it does not contain any metallic properties that would allow it to be attracted to a magnet. Magnetism is primarily seen in materials containing iron, nickel, or cobalt.


Is coal magnetic?

No, coal is not magnetic because it does not contain any magnetic materials such as iron or nickel. Magnetism in materials is usually a result of the alignment of magnetic dipoles within the material, which coal lacks.


Does the force of a magnetic field have mass?

Any stored energy has a small amount of mass associated - by the Theory of Relativity. The amount is usually too small to be of interest.


How do magnets stick?

They don't "stick", any more than a person "sticks" to the Earth. In both cases ... gravity and magnetism ... there is a pair of mutual forces, one on each object, attracting it to the other object. If you simply apply force in the oppposite direction, and your force is any amount greater than the attractive force, the objects will separate.


What is Non-contact force?

A non-contact force is any force applied to an object (or body) by another body that is not in direct contact with it. examples; Gravity, Magnetism or nuclear forces. hope this is of some help to you, Courtney - it is gravitational forces, electromagnetic force, strong nuclear force and weak nuclear force... get it!!! by Lachlan Cowan electromagnitism is the same as magnitism but it can be controlled.


Does magnetism affect gravity?

No. They are very different.Here are a few differences:-- Gravity creates a force between every two objects. Magnetism only acts between objects made of certain substances that are 'magnetic'.-- Gravity can only attract objects toward each other. Magnetic force can pull objects together and can also push objects apart.-- Magnetic force can be created by an electric current flowing through a wire. Gravitational force can't be created in any way that we know of; it simply exists in the space around any mass.-- You can take a magnet and make it a non-magnet, by heating it or hitting it with a hammer. But there is no way to make a mass stop exerting gravitational force on other masses.-- You can shield yourself from magnetism by wrapping yourself in appropriate substances, (like aluminum foil for example). But there is no shield that blocks gravity out.
