How do you call the magnet that is used to pick up cars in a scrapyard?
It is simply called a scrap magnet. Ohio Magnetics and Walker both manufacturer scrap magnets.

Why a freely suspended magnet always rest in north and south direction?
A magnet aligns itself along the earth's magnetic field, with its north pole pointing to a location called 'Magnetic North', so called to distinguish it from 'True North'. The magnetic polarity of the location we call 'Magnetic North' is south.
What do you call an area of land that is higher transmitting in its surrounding and has a flat top?
A flat-topped raised land area is called a plateau. Plateaus are elevated landforms with a relatively level top and steep sides that rise above the surrounding area.
What is The part of a magnet that points north is called?
The pole of the magnet that points to earth's magnetic north is the south pole of the magnetIt should be understood that the north pointing end of a compass is a North magnetic pole. That being so, the north pole of the earth got its name because of this fact. Actually, the north pole of the earth has a South magnetic polarity which attracts the north pole of the compass. The south pole of a magnet points to the south pole of the earth because the south pole has a north magnetic polarity. Confused? Just remember that true (magnetic) north resides in the magnet; not in the earth. dbm 7/16/09Clearer AnswerThe above answer is incorrect. The poles of a magnet were named after the directions in which they point. The earth's poles were NOT named after a magnet's poles!When a horizontally-suspended comes to rest, it points in an approximately North-South direction. For this reason, the end of the magnet pointing North was called the 'North-Seeking' pole, and the other end was called its 'South-Seeking' pole. We no longer use the terms 'seeking', and we now call the ends of a magnet its 'north pole' and 'south pole' and these terms are also used to define their magnetic polarities.To differentiate it from True North and True South, we say that the magnet actually points to Magnetic North and Magnetic South -these are the names given to directions (or location) NOT their magnetic polarities. So, because 'unlike poles attract', the magnetic polarity at the location we call 'Magnetic North' is a south pole which therefore attracts the north pole of a magnet.
What do you call the magnetic force around a magnet?
I'm pretty sure its the 'magnetic field'
What do you call the force around a magnet?
the area of magnetic force around a magnet is called the magnetic field
What do we call a end of a magnet?
Those are called the poles of the magnet.
What do we call a the ends of a magnet?
poles
What do you call the little things that show up the magnetic field?
Lines of force.Lines of force.Lines of force.Lines of force.
What you call the ends of a magnet?
poles
What you call the ends a magnet?
poles
What do you call the end of a magnet?
Well its classified as poles
What are the advantages and disadvantages of magnetism?
The magnet's poles( north and south) easily attracts eachother. They can attract magnets at a distance invisibly, through what we call a magnetic field. It can act a distance. It causes a pulling and pusing force on other magnets. When you move the magnet close to a object for example a nail, it will jump and pull itself to stick with the magnet.
What do you call a magnet that only lasts a short time?
A temporary magnet is a magnet that only retains its magnetism for a limited period before losing its magnetic properties.
What do you call it when lines intersect?
intersecting lines
What do you call two lines that cross?
If the question means, "What do you call the point where two lines cross?" The answer would be "intersection". Otherwise, I would call them 2 intersecting lines.
