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.


How does a tangent at any point on the magnetic field line show the direction of magnetic field at that point?

The tangent to a magnetic field line at any point indicates the direction of the magnetic field at that specific location. This is because the tangent line represents the direction a compass needle would point if placed at that point on the field line. The magnetic field lines themselves flow from the north pole of a magnet to its south pole, with the tangent pointing in the direction the magnetic field would act on a north pole.


How can you test if a material is magnetic?

Using a compass; You move the compass around the object and if the hand in the compass goes mad, then it is a magnet To test how something is magnetic: See if it sticks to a magnet. It will only be magnetic if it is made from nickle, iron or cobalt. Steel is also magnetic because it is made mostly from iron. Hope this helps x


Why are the poles of a bar magnet not situated at the extreme ends of the magnet?

The poles are situated at the ends of the bar magnet. The magnetic lines of force run through the magnet, emerge from one end, fold back around the length of the bar of the magnet, and curl back into the other end. The ends are the magnetic poles, and the magnetic lines of force emerge from one and re-enter the magnet at the other. You can see these lines by laying flat a piece of smooth paper over the magnet and sprinkling iron filings over the paper. Because they are light they will be easily moved into alignment by the magnetic field and will visually show the fields arrangement. (Using a piece of paper makes it easy to tidy up. Without it, the filings will stick to the magnet and be difficult to remove.)

How do you measure the strength of a magnet and what factors affect its magnetic field?

The strength of a magnet is measured using a device called a gaussmeter, which detects the magnetic field produced by the magnet. Factors that affect the magnetic field of a magnet include the material it is made of, its size and shape, and the presence of any external magnetic fields.


What factors determine the strength of a neodymium magnet?

The strength of a neodymium magnet is determined by factors such as the grade of the magnet, the size and shape of the magnet, the temperature it is exposed to, and the presence of any external magnetic fields.


How do we know that an object is a magnetic object?

An object is considered a magnetic object if it is attracted to a magnet or if it has its own magnetic field that can interact with other magnetic fields. This can be tested by observing if the object is drawn toward a magnet, or by using a compass to detect any magnetic field it may produce.


What material when placed between a magnet and iron best reduces the attraction?

A non-magnetic material, such as paper, plastic, or wood, would best reduce the attraction between a magnet and iron. These materials do not interact strongly with magnetic fields, so they will create a barrier that decreases the magnetic force between the magnet and the iron.


What can happen if you keep a magnet to your head?

That would depend on the strength of the magnetic field of the magnet. As magnetic fields can influence electrical current, and our brains work on a massive series of electrical impulses, it's possible that there could be some interaction, but the magnetic field would need to be immense before any noticeable side effects became aparrent. Magnetic fields are all around us, the earth is basically one big magnet (that's why a needle in a compass points to north) so you could say life on earth is used to exposure to magnetic fields.


What affects the strength of a magnet's pull or push?

The strength of a magnet's pull or push is influenced by factors such as the material the magnet is made of, its size, and the distance between the magnet and the object it is attracting or repelling. Additionally, the shape of the magnet and any magnetic fields nearby can also affect its strength.


How does a non magnetic material behave when a magnet is placed near?

A non-magnetic material will not be attracted to a magnet and will not exhibit any magnetic properties. It will not stick to the magnet or experience any noticeable changes in its behavior when the magnet is placed near it.


Is calcite attracted to a magnet?

No, calcite is not attracted to a magnet because it is not a magnetic mineral. Calcite is a non-magnetic mineral and will not exhibit any magnetic properties when placed near a magnet.


How could magnetic rocks affect a compass and why?

In a regular magnetic compass, the needle is a magnet. One end is the south pole and the other end is the north pole. Magnets are affected by other magnets. If a magnet is placed near a magnetic compass, the north pole of the compass's needle is attracted by the south pole of the magnet, and the south pole of the compass's needle is attracted by the north pole of the magnet.


Are any elements magnetic?

Not any element is a magnet; but in a large sense any material has magnetic (including anti-) properties.
