1. Energy is required to create a magnet, but no energy is required to maintain a magnet(magnetic field).

2. Like poles repel each other, and unlike poles attract each other.

3. The magnetic force between two poles is directly proportional to the pole strength and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

What is difference between residual magnetism and retentivity?

Residual magnetism and remanence are the same thing. The term residual magnetism is often used in engineering applications. Both terms describe the magnetization, and measure of that magnetism, left behind in a ferromagnetic material after the external magnetic field is removed.


What is the difference between magnetism and electricity?

The difference between electricity and magnetism is that you must be in the same frame of reference as the electric field to experience electricity, because all that magnetism is, is electricity moving relative to you.Although they are two different forms of energy, you can use magnetism to create electricity and you can use magnetism to create electricity.Electricity is the flow of energy or current through a metallic substance. Magnetism is the attraction of the metallic molecules in a solid or substance.


What is the sure test of magnetism?

The sure test of magnetism is the ability of a material to attract iron or other magnetic materials. If a material attracts iron, it is considered to be magnetic.


Which branch of science includes magnetism?

Physics is the branch of science that includes the study of magnetism. Magnetism falls under the broader category of electromagnetism, which deals with the interactions between electric and magnetic fields.
