What are hard and soft magnetic materials?

Colour: black, opaque. Streak: black. Lustre: metallic or dull. Cleavage: none. Hardness: 5.5-6.5. Specific Gravity: 5.2. Its diagnostic feature is that it is highly magnetic.


Why are electromagnets cool?

Electromagnets are cool because they are reversible and can switch on and off, allowing for precise and rapid control. They are also lightweight and portable compared to permanent magnets. Additionally, electromagnets are versatile and can be found in many different applications, from MRI machines to speakers.


What are the types of magnets?

Ferro-magnets, permanent magnets, temporary magnets, and electromagnets. Ferro-magnets are magnets that are magnetic at a higher temperature than room temperature. do not quote me on that. permanent magnets are magnets that are always magnets, they are the kinds you use a lot. Temporary magnets are things that are magnetic in an extrenal magnetic field. Last but not least, electromagnets. Electromagnets are coils of wire around a cobalt, nickel, or iron. When ou run electricity through the wire, the core and wire become magnetic.


What vibrates in a loudspeaker?

Loud speaker usually has two electromagnets (or a permanent magnet and an electromagnet). When an audio signal in the form of an electric signal with desired frequency is applied to both electromagnets in opposite direction at same time so that they act as magnets with same polarities facing. This makes them repel with the given frequency, thus producing sound.


What is most likely to be attracted by a magnet?

Iron, nickel and some of their alloys are attracted to magnets (only some types of steel). Also, the oppositely charged poles of other magnets or electromagnets.

What kinds of materials make good semiconductors?

Copper is a very widely used semiconductor. Copper wire is used in electromagnets and electric motors. In electromagnets, it is wound around a metal core with electricity flowing through it to magnetise the metal core. And the same basic principle applies to small electric motors, only, they are encased in a magnet so the opposite sides cause force it into a centrifugal motion.


Permanent magnets and electromagnets both hold their magnetism for a long period?

the answer is false Permanent magnets will hold their magnetism for a long period of time. Electromagnets will only remain magnetic as long as current is flowing through them.


What appliances have electromagnets?

What are hard and soft materials?

The magnetic materials which can magnetise and de-magnetise easily are called "soft magnetic materials" example:-ferrites,iron-cobalt alloy. The magnetic materials which cannot magnetise and de-magnetise easily are called "hard magnetic materials" example:-aluminium(al),nickel-cobalt alloy.
