A magnet possess the four properties:
-attractive property
-directive property
-like poles repel and unlike poles attract
-poles always exists in pairs
attractive property: if you bring a magnet near iron filings, the iron filing will get attracted to the magnet. this is the attractive property.
directive property:if a magnet is freely suspended by a thread, it will align itself in the north-south direction. this is called the directive property.
like poles repel and unlike poles attract: a bar magnet's north pole is brought near the north pole of another magnet, it is observed that the the two magnets get repelled. if the same north pole is brought near the south pole of another magnet, the two magnets get attracted.
poles always exists in pairs: when a magnet is cut into pieces, it will always have two poles, that is , north and south. even the smallest magnets will have this property. it is called the dipole property.

∙ 6y agoThe main distinctive property of a magnet is that it is magnetic. This means it will attract other magnets, via a force called the "magnetic force".

Magnetite displays which special property?
The special property that magnetite displays is that it is attracted by a magnet. Cleavage is the mineral property that explains why some minerals break along smooth, flat surfaces.
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.
What happens to the properties of a bar magnet if it were broken in thirds?
Nothing happens to properties because if it broken it still has north pole and south pole. Even if magnet broke into smallest piece it would still have same property.
Show bar magnet horse shoe magnet dumb bell magnet etc.?
A dumbbell shaped magnet is called which type of magnet?
What is the difference between horse shoe magnet and U-shaped magnet ped magnet?
between a horse shoe magnet and u shaped magnet?
What is the attractive property of magnet?
magnets attract iron,nickel,cobalt and unlike poles towards itself , this property of magnet is known as attractive property of magnet .
A special property of pyrrhotite is that it is a natural what that attracts iron?
A special property of pyrrhotite is that it is a natural MAGNET that attracts iron. So your answer is: MAGNET
What is a superconducting magnet?
A superconducting magnet is one that is made of material that exhibits the property of superconductivity.
What property made it possible to separte the mixture with a magnet?
magnetism
What is permeativity?
A: Is term to describe the property of material to retain its property for after alterations. Like a magnet will retain its property if exposed closeness to iron.
Why a magnet is used to separate iron filings from saw dust?
because magnet has a property that can attract metals/metal particles
Can you give me a short phrase for magnet?
A magnet is a material or object that produces a magnetic field. This magnetic field is invisible but is responsible for the most notable property of a magnet. This property is the force that pulls on other ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, and attracts or repels other magnets.
The loadstone a species of iron ore which has the property of attracting iron?
Magnet
Is a knife magnetic?
knife shows magnetic property when it remains physically contact with magnet for sometime.this type is known as temporary magnet
What happens to the iron ruler if it rubs with a magnet?
It will become an electro-magnet which is an temporary magnet. it is because of the induction property, the magnetic effect gets transfered to the Scale. (it can be any piece of Iron)
Does most material have magnetic properties?
No, all materials do not have magnetic property. But if an iron is rubbed with a natural magnet,gets the properties of magnet.
If a magnet is cool whether it looses its magnetic property?
yes that's right
