It is plentiful, it is cheap to purify on an industrial scale, it is a strong metal useful for many things, by adding a few substances it becomes steel which is even stronger and has better properties.

What particle is responsible for a material magnetic properties?

Each atom acts like a tiny magnet. When the atoms are aligned, the magnets produce magnetism. When an iron or nickel material comes near the magnet, its atoms align with the different pole facing the magnet. For example, if the magnet's atoms have the North side facing away, then the iron object will have the South side facing the magnet. So then they attract.


What happened to a bar magnet when broken in half?

Six. Every bar magnet has 2 poles. If a bar magnet is broken, each resultant piece will be a bar magnet in its own right.


Which poles on a magnet will repel?

Like poles repel, opposites attract. So a N pole of one bar magnet will repel the N pole of another bar magnet. And the same applies to two S poles.


Why cutting a magnet in half will create two magnets?

Yes, cutting a magnet in half will make two magnets, one out of each half. The explanation of this lies in what gives the magnet its magnetic properties. When a magnet is made, small "volumes" of the metal matrix become magnets. These little spaces (called magnetic domains) are comprised of an atom or a few dozen atoms that have their magnetic axes aligned. The whole magnet is this way. That is why breaking it in half won't disrupt the vast majority of the magnetic domains. Each half of the broken magnet becomes a new magnet with a north and south pole.


What will happen if a North Pole of bar magnet near the North Pole of suspended magnet?

In magnetism, two like poles will repel each other. Remember that opposites attract.

How many atoms are in a magnet?

Even a single atom (if it is the right kind of atom) can generate a magnetic field, so there can be any number of atoms in a magnet, from one onwards to very large numbers, such as 1025.


If every iron atom is a tiny magnet why aren't all iron materials themselves magnets?

The magnetic fields produced by each and atom is not aligned in the same direction and have random direction and thus they cancel each others magnetic field and thus the iron does not behave like a magnet

Why poles of the magnet can't be separaed?

Magnets are related to electrical currents; the electrical current produces a symmetrical magnetic field, i.e., it has a north and a south part.In the case of a permanent magnet, each atom has a tiny magnet, with its own north pole and south pole.

What makes one elemtn different from another?

The atoms of each element have a number of protons that is unique to each element. The number of protons makes one atom different from another.


How is an electromagnetic train suspended above the tracks?

The electromagnetic train is suspended above the rails thanks to the special metals that the tracks are made of. Just like a regular magnet, this causes the two masses to repel each other, and it makes the train suspend over the tracks.


How many bonds does each oxygen atom make?

Each oxygen atom typically makes 2 bonds, as oxygen has 6 valence electrons and tends to form double bonds to satisfy its octet rule.
