Unpaired electons (which is to say, electrons not paired with another electron of opposite spin).
The south pole of one magnet is attracted to the north pole of the other magnet.
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.
Magnets are made from iron, nickel, and cobalt. Cobalt is a bit more flexible than the other two, which are very hard metals. It could also be an alloy of the three, but I don't know about that.
Great question. The Earth has a magnetic field but it is not strong enough to overcome the other forces affecting pieces of iron. But if you wanted to make a super-accurate weighing scale, you would avoid iron for its hanging parts. And every steel can in your kitchen is magnetized from sitting in the Earths magnetic field. Put a compass needle close to a can of beans and see!
magnets make the radishes grow larger. i noticed that the magnets also made the radishes produce more leaves.
Metals that are attracted by magnets or that can be turned into magnets are as follows: 1-iron 2-cobalt 3-nickel 4-steel (a compound not an element)
Metals and other magnets are the only objects that are attracted to magnets. However, many metals are NOT attracted to magnets. Copper, stainless steel, brass, gold, silver, zinc, and aluminum are a few metals that are NOT attracted to magnets. The best way to discover if the object will be attracted to a magnet is to introduce it to a magnet.
Magnets are most commonly made out of metal, so yes, two metal magnets can repel. But metals such as iron are attracted to magnets even if the metal itself is not magnetized. Iron is attracted to both poles of a magnet, and it can not be repelled by a magnet.
The only coins that are attracted to magnets are coins containing iron or steel, or a very high proportion of nickel. This includes many common coated-steel coins, and Canadian all-nickel 5-cent coins from the 20th century.
They are called ferromagnets or permanent magnets. They are also called man-made or synthetic magnets. If you're on A+, the correct answer is ferromagnets. - Dawn Ayers
Magnets is made of iron. Magnets are attracted to anything made out of iron.
Magnets only attract certain kinds of metals, mostly ferrous metals such as iron and steel, as well as pure nickel. US dimes are mostly made of copper with a small amount of nickel, not enough to be attracted to a magnet.
Not all metals attract to magnets. Examples are: aluminium, copper, titanium,brass, bronze, tin, nickel, platinum, gold, silver, lead, pewter But im wondering what the Bleach zangetsu key chain is made out of?
No, pennies are made from a combination of metals that are not magnetic, such as copper and zinc. Therefore, a penny will not stick to a magnet.
Silver dollars from 1794 to 1935 were made of 90% silver and 10% copper, neither of which are attracted to a magnet. Only ferrous metals such as steel and iron, and certain other metals such as nickel are attracted to 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.
Yes. Nails are usually made from iron or steel, which is attracted to magnets.
