Why do iron and steel become magnetized?
Iron and steel, the latter of which is an alloy of iron, carbon, and perhaps a few other metals, are sensitive to magnetic fields. In addition, the atoms are able to reorient themselves within the metallic crystal lattice to align themselves with the magnetic field. This creates what are termed magnetic domains. In summary, the magnetic domains created when the specified materials are exposed to a magnetic field will retain an "imprint" of the field that created them. The iron or steel is then said to be magnetized.
Why not all magnets have a magnetic field?
Not all materials can be magnetized permanently because they don't have unpaired electrons in their atomic structure. Only materials with unpaired electrons can align their spins to create a magnetic field and exhibit magnetic properties. Materials like iron, nickel, and cobalt have this property and can be magnetized.
Is an iron hinge magnetic?
Yes, an iron hinge is magnetic because iron is a ferromagnetic material, which means it can be magnetized. When exposed to a magnetic field, iron becomes magnetic and can attract or repel other magnetic materials.
Does magnets go through iron?
yes it does
What does iron ore and lodestone look like?
Iron ore typically appears as reddish-brown rocks or dark, metallic ores that can be magnetized. Lodestone, a naturally magnetized form of magnetite, appears as dark, irregularly shaped stones with magnetic properties. Both can vary in appearance depending on their mineral composition and location.
An object containing iron is?
a object which could be able to be magnetized
What happens if you bring two iron nails close to each other?
Unless one or both iron nails are magnetized, then nothing will happen. If one nail is magnetized, then the other nail will be attracted to the magnetized nail.
What happens if you bring two iron nails close to( or touching)each other?
Unless one or both iron nails are magnetized, then nothing will happen. If one nail is magnetized, then the other nail will be attracted to the magnetized nail.
What happens if you bring two iron nails close to(or touching) each other?
Unless one or both iron nails are magnetized, then nothing will happen. If one nail is magnetized, then the other nail will be attracted to the magnetized nail.
Can silver be magnetized?
No. Only a hand-full of metals can be magnetized, for example iron, nickel and cobalt.
Magnetism can sometimes be in an iron object by rubbing it with a magnet?
Yes, this process is known as magnetization. When an iron object is rubbed with a magnet, the domains within the iron align in the direction of the magnetic field created by the magnet, causing the iron object to become magnetized.
Is magnetism a mineral?
A magnet is a man-made object, made from minerals that are magnetic or iron that has been magnetized.
What happens if you bring two iron nails close to or touching each other?
Like poles will repel.Unlike poles will attract.
What happens if you bring two iron nails close or touching each other?
Unless one or both iron nails are magnetized, then nothing will happen. If one nail is magnetized, then the other nail will be attracted to the magnetized nail.
What are some example of iron?
Pure iron that has not been bonded with other substances such as aluminum or silicon. The presence of these substances keeps the magnetic dipoles (electrons, each of which acts like a tiny magnet due to its spin) aligned once magnetized and therefore the material remains magnetized. This does not occur in pure iron.
Will iron stick to the south or north of a magnet?
It will stick to either pole, providede that the iron is not magnetized and that it is not above the Curie temperature (the temperature above which iron can no longer be magnetized, named after Marie and Pierre Curie).
Strongest element that can be magnetized?
iron
