If the question is "How do you create residual magnetism", one simple answer is as follows... You can "induce" a magnet in ferrous (containing iron) material using another magnet. Take the item you wish to make into a magnet (can be done using a simple magnet and a nail, in home experiments). An old stereo speaker magnet is best as it is relatively easy to find and pretty strong. Rub the magnet evenly and repeatedly ONE WAY down the item you wish to be magnetized (like from the nail head towards the point), almost like you are sharpening a knife. The longer you do this, the better magnet you will create (based on the size and material in your item and the strength of the inducing magnet). Over time, this induction will dissipate and you will have to re-induce the item. A more efficient, and a tiny bit more difficult method is electromagnetic induction, in which you would use a battery and a copper coil wrapped around the nail to create a flow of electrons (current) through the nail resulting in simultaneous magnetism. You can find easy instructions on how to do this just about anywhere on the web. You can SEE this happening by using a magnet near an old TV set screen, the magnet will induce or change the flow of electricity and produce warped colors. Don't use the family TV set, though, the colors sometimes STAY messed up 8). Have fun experimenting 8)

Does bauxite have magnetism?

No, bauxite does not exhibit magnetic properties. Bauxite is an aluminum ore and its composition does not include any magnetic elements such as iron, which is necessary for a material to be magnetic.

Is a magnatism a contact force or non-contact force?

Magnetism (note the spelling) works even from a distance, so it's a non-contact force. If it can work without touching, it's one.

What is the difference a fission and fusion?

fission is the splitting of atoms of uranium or plutionium by the means of neutrons. fusion is the opposite. fusion is the violent combining of atoms through magnatism and heat. our own sun uses fusion to shine.


What is the difference between magnet and magnetic and magnatism?

A magnet is an object that is magnetic if it displays magnetic properties. Think of it like this; If bar magnet attracts a piece of metal towards it, it is using magnetism (fluxuations in electric current) and therefore the magnet can be said to have magnetic properties.
