The iron shavings get temporarily magnetized, due to the influence of the magnet. Thus, you have two magnets attracting each other - the original magnet, and a piece of iron shaving.
Magnet are objects which have an electromagnetic force. It attracts iron and other metals which have the property of being induced by a magnets effect and repels other magnets.
The most common permanent magnets are: neodymium magnets, which are composed of neodymium, iron and boron; Samarium Cobalt magnets, which are composed of samarium, cobalt and iron; and ceramic magnets. Here is a link to information about the first 2 which are called rare earth magnets.
Lets stick toghether
Primarily nickel, iron, and cobalt.
Chuck the mixture into water. The sand will sink, the shavings float.
They stick to other magnets or iron, cobalt and nickel.
it does
Magnets stick to materials that are attracted to them, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt.
Not to pure tin. Magnets stick to things with iron in them.
Magnets stick to materials that are ferromagnetic, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt. They can also stick to certain alloys and other magnets. Materials like wood, plastic, and glass are not generally attracted to magnets.
magnets detect iron because of the magnetic feild in the magnet which atracts iron to stick to it.
Yes, magnets can stick to wrought iron because it contains a small amount of ferrous material that is attracted to magnets. However, wrought iron is not as magnetic as steel, which contains a higher percentage of iron.
Magnets stick to ferromagnetic materials such as iron, nickel, and cobalt. They can also stick to other magnets.
Iron, cobalt and nickel sticks to magnets. The others don't.
shavings of iron.
Iron and its alloys (e.g. steel) are attracted to magnets
Magnets stick to ferromagnetic minerals such as magnetite, hematite, and pyrrhotite. These minerals contain iron and have magnetic properties that attract to magnets.
