What else can I help you with?
What is someone who studies magnets called?
A magnetometer is a device used to measure the intensity and direction of a magnetic field.
What do magnets have to with electricity?
Faraday showed that a wire passing through a magnetic field will produce electricity. This is how a generator works. Many windings of wire on an armature spin in a magnetic field. This makes electricity.
What is the attraction to magnets called?
The word magnetic, or the word ferromagnetic refer to materials that can be attracted by magnets.
What is a true statement about the magnetic field between two magnets?
The south pole of one magnet is attracted to the north pole of the other magnet.
How do you find the shape of a magnetic field using a compass?
Yes. I can be done using iron filings and a clear piece of plastic. Pour on the iron filings, put on the plastic, and then the magnet. The iron filings should form the shape of the magnetic field around it. If that does not work, here is a link to a picture... http://www.fi.edu/htlc/teachers/lettieri/magneticfields.jpg Hope that helps.
What are magnets surrounded by?
A magnetic field.
Do all magnets have a magnetic field?
Yes, all magnets have a magnetic field. When a material becomes magnetized, it creates a magnetic field around itself that attracts or repels other materials. This magnetic field is the reason why magnets can exert force on other magnets or magnetic materials.
What are the Nature of magnets?
I am not entirely sure what you are after, but you might say that:* It is the nature of magnets to be magnetic. Or:* It is the nature of magnets to be surrounded by a magnetic field.
How are temporary and permanent magnets are alike and different?
Temporary magnets and permanent magnets are alike in that they both produce a magnetic field and can attract materials containing iron. However, temporary magnets only exhibit magnetic properties when exposed to a magnetic field, while permanent magnets retain their magnetism without the need for an external magnetic field.
Does the magnetic field increase if there are more magnets?
Yes, the magnetic field strength will increase if there are more magnets because the magnetic fields generated by individual magnets add up. This is known as superposition, and the resultant field becomes stronger as more magnets are brought together.
What happens to a magnetic field when you add multiple magnets?
When you add multiple magnets, the magnetic fields combine according to the principles of superposition. If the magnets are aligned in the same direction, the magnetic field strength increases and extends further. If the magnets are aligned in opposite directions, they can cancel out each other's magnetic fields.
What is the magnetic field strength of neodymium magnets?
The magnetic field strength of neodymium magnets is typically around 1.3 to 1.4 tesla, which is significantly stronger than other types of magnets.
What happens when the magnetic field or or more magnets overlap?
they combine and become one magnetic field
The closer together a magnets magnetic field lines are?
The stronger the magnetic field is.
When do non-magnetic materials become attracted to magnets?
Non-magnetic materials become attracted to magnets when they are placed in a strong magnetic field.
What is it in magnets that causes it to attract metal?
Magnets can retain a permanent magnetic field. All atoms have a magnetic field which are randomly arranged in the object. Magnets and ferrous metals can retain or temporarily align the atomic fields, thus they are magnetic.
How do magnets and chaged particles differ?
Magnets have a magnetic field that can attract or repel other magnets or magnetic materials. Charged particles, on the other hand, have an electric field and can interact with each other through electromagnetic forces. Magnets have their own magnetic field even when not in an external field, while charged particles need an external source to create an electric field.
