Why does stroking a material with a magnet make it magnetised?
because the magnet causes particles called electrons in the atoms of the nail to align along the magnet's lines of force. The atoms with aligned electrons then act like tiny bar magnets themselves.
What magnets act like several combined bar magnets?
A "Neodymium magnet or Super Magnet".
Why does water have a lopsided shape and act like a chemical magnet?
lol not giving the answer to anyone
Can copper form a permanent magnet?
Any metal can be the core of an electromagnet, but some work better than others, and still others result in different effects. A copper cored electromagnet produces a repulsing force, as opposed to the attractive force of an iron core electromagnet.
What are input and output forces?
An input force is what force you act upon a machine. The output is what it does for you in return.
What is the region around a magnet in which magnetic forces act called?
A Magnetic Force
Why can a magnet act from a distance?
Because of the magnetic force
Forces that act on an object at a distance?
Some forces do not involve physical contact between the bodies on which they act. They act through the space between them. Such forces are called Non-Contact Forces or Action-at-a Distance Force. They are of three types, namely, magnetic force, electrostatic force and gravhtational force. Magnetic Force -- The forces which a magnet exerts on iron objects is called magnetic forces. Electrostatic Force -- The force which result due to the repulsion of similar charges or attraction of opposite charges is called electrostatic force. Gravitational force -- The force by which Earth pulls the objects towards its centre is called gravitational force.
What is the space around a magnet where the forces of the magnet act?
The space around a magnet where the force of the magnet can act is the space occupied by the magnetic field. Alternatively we say that the magnetic field acts in the space around a magnet. That is a very qualitative statement with little predictive value. More predictive value is contained in a statement that the strength of the magnetic field at any position in the vicinity of a magnet is measured by the torque which is exerted on a small magnet moment (compass) place in the vicinity of a magnet. This, recorded with the direction the test compass points is actually a mapping of the magnetic field of a magnet. As a side note, if carefully measured one discovers that strength of the field around a magnet decreases as the inverse cube of the distance when far from the magnet. The field is mostly in the volume near the magnet but the weakening field continues to exist at all distances from the magnet.
Which type of force can act through empty space?
Electric and gravitational force can act through "empty" space.
When The region around a magnet where the magnetic force act is the?
magnetic field
Why does stroking a material with a magnet make it magnetised?
because the magnet causes particles called electrons in the atoms of the nail to align along the magnet's lines of force. The atoms with aligned electrons then act like tiny bar magnets themselves.
How is electric force like a magnet force?
They can both attract, or can repel, they can both act over a distance.
What is the region around a magnet where the magnetic force act?
This would be the magnetic field.
What is a force that wraps around a magnet?
magnetic pull
The area around an object that is affected by the magnetism of that object is the?
A Magnetic Force
Why can magnets attract objects without touching them?
Magnets have a magnetic field about them. This field can act on objects without the magnet coming in contact with the object.
