When a magnet or iron piece is watched under a powerful microscope we will obseve that a magnet or iron is made up tiny tiny pieces which cannot be further divided realistically such small pieces are known as domains.
In a magnet all domains are in the same direction due to which it attracts iron.
While in a iron these domains are arranged randomly which nullify its magnetism.
When a magnet is brousht near an iron matrial all the domains get attracted to the magnet due to which domains in iron get arranged in a particular direction due to wich at that time they act as magnets but as soon as the magnet gets farther the domains again arrange them selves randomly due to which tey do not remain permanent magnets

What are ferrous materials?
Materials that are closely related to, or have iron in them.
What are the 4 magnetic materials?
the 4 magnetic materials are iron, steel, copper and nickel
Earth itself can make magnets out of ferromagnetic materials?
Ferromagnetic materials are made of iron. Iron can be magnetized with proximity to other magnets. The core of the Earth is magnetic. As a result, magnets can be created without interference.
What materials can be magnets with the help of the stroking method?
iron and the materials that are attracted or repelled by the magnet
Can magnets affect non ferrous metals?
Yes. Nonferrous materials still have a magnetic response, but it may be small. You won't notice it with a normal permanent magnet around household material, but the effect is there and there are materials for which it is large enough to be of technological interest. There are also several kinds of magnetic materials , including ceramic, ferrite and rare earth magnets. Most of these have some iron, along with several other atomic species. Traditional magnets are, of course, simply iron.
Which materials can magnets be made from?
Iron, nickel, and cobalt are used to create permanent magnets.
How are temporary and permanent alike?
they're both magnets . they can both stick to iron-made materials. They are different because temporary magnets only last a little and permanent magnets last a long time.
Are permanent magnets only attracted to other permanent magnets?
No, they are attracted to: Other permanent magnets Solenoids Iron Wires with current running through them
How are temporary and permanent magnets alike?
Yes Permanent magnets is the term used to describe magnets that are always magnetic, an non permanent magnet would be an electro magnet which is only a magnet when an electric current is put through it.
What are ferrous materials?
Materials that are closely related to, or have iron in them.
What are the 4 magnetic materials?
the 4 magnetic materials are iron, steel, copper and nickel
How do magnets work naturally?
Natural magnets, such as lodestones, have a permanent and persistence magnetic field. These permanent magnets can also temporarily magnetize material such as iron, nickel, and cobalt.
Earth itself can make magnets out of ferromagnetic materials?
Ferromagnetic materials are made of iron. Iron can be magnetized with proximity to other magnets. The core of the Earth is magnetic. As a result, magnets can be created without interference.
Why can earth itself make magnets out of ferromagnetic materials?
Ferromagnetic materials are made of iron. Iron can be magnetized with proximity to other magnets. The core of the Earth is magnetic. As a result, magnets can be created without interference.
Are magnets living?
No, most permanent magnets are made of Iron or NIckel compounds. They are inorganic metals or metallic compounds.
What materials can be magnets with the help of the stroking method?
iron and the materials that are attracted or repelled by the magnet
Which magnetic material can retain permanent magnetization?
False permanent magnets can but electromagnets need a running current A+
