What else can I help you with?
As the core of an electromagnet what materials other than iron can be used?
Other materials that can be used as the core of an electromagnet include cobalt, nickel, and some steel alloys. These materials have high magnetic permeability, allowing them to enhance the magnetic field produced by the coil. Additionally, materials such as ferrite or powdered iron can also be used for specific applications.
What are the names and symbols of two magnetic elements from the same period?
Period 4: iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni).
How are iron cobalt and nickel different?
The different forms of an element are called isotopes. Each isotope has the same number of protons in its nucleus, but differing numbers of neutrons. This difference causes an instability in the nucleus and leads to some of them breaking down into other elements and emitting radiation (called radioactive decay). Cobalt has only one natural isotope, 50Co, which is completely stable. All others are produced by neutron bombardment in a reactor. These others are very radioactive and are used as gamma ray sources in quite a few industries and systems.
Is carbon fiber magnetic?
No, carbon fiber is not magnetic because it is composed of carbon atoms arranged in a specific crystalline structure that does not interact with magnetic fields in the same way as materials containing iron, nickel, or cobalt.
What kind of elements have a strong attraction to magnets?
The materials that react strongest to magnets are said to be ferromagnetic. According to the Wikipedia article on ferromagnetism, "The common ones are iron, nickel, cobalt and most of their alloys, some compounds of rare earth metals, and a few naturally-occurring minerals such as lodestone."
What elements are similar to iron?
What elements are similar to iron in a chemical property on the Periodic Table
Why are iron cobalt and nickel in the same?
Yes. They are all in the transition metals group. Because they are all magnetic.

What materials are attracted to an electromagent?
It attracts the exact same thing as ordinary magnets do. Ex.: steel, iron, cobalt, and nickel
What are the names and symbols of two magnetic elements from the same period?
Period 4: iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni).
What 2 metals are found in the outer core?
Nickel and iron or iron and nickel (is the same)
What is the lightest metal that is still magnetic?
The lightest metal that is still magnetic is iron. Iron is a ferromagnetic material, meaning it can be magnetized when placed in a magnetic field. It is also relatively lightweight compared to other magnetic metals like cobalt and nickel.
What do magnets connect too?
Magnets can attract and connect to ferromagnetic materials such as iron, nickel, and cobalt. Magnets can also repel other magnets if their poles are facing each other in the same direction.
What are the three metals that are attracted to magnets?
The three common metals attracted to magnets are iron, nickel, and cobalt. These metals have magnetic properties because their atoms have unpaired electrons that align in the same direction to create a magnetic field.

Can scrap heap magnets pick up cobalt?
Yes, scrap heap magnets can pick up cobalt because cobalt is ferromagnetic, meaning it can be attracted to magnets. The strength of the magnet and the amount of cobalt present will determine how easily it can be picked up.
Objects that are attracted to magnets contain what types of metal?
Iron (or, from a physics standpoint, ferrous or, more probably, ferromagnetic metal). Magnets attract magnetic material, and there are only a few ferrous materials around. The word ferrous is from the word ferrum, which is the Latin word for iron. The chemical symbol for iron is Fe and it comes from the same source. Iron, cobalt and nickel are the "big three" ferromagnetic materials, but gadolinium and dysprosium also exhibit ferromagnetic properties. Certainly compounds and mixtures that include these elements are (usually) ferromagnetic. Wikipedia has some good info posted in their article on ferromagnetism. Need a link? You got it.
