What is someone who studies magnets called?

A magnetometer is a device used to measure the intensity and direction of a magnetic field.


What is a magnets magnetic field?

Whatever it is that enables a magnet to push another magnet without ever touching it, is called the "magnetic field". It is an invisible attribute of a magnet that surrounds the magnet and exerts forces on other magnets and some non magnets, like iron.


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 stops magnets from connecting?

To remove magnetism from an object, you must melt it so that the atoms can disalign. Magnetism is caused by the alignment of atoms in a similar direction. There is no way to block a magnetic field, so space is key. Put some distance between magnets and other ferrous materials, and maybe put the magnets inside plexiglass if you are concerned for safety. Yon can romove a magnetic feild if you put another magnetic object in it's way.


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.

How does the magnetic field between two magnets affect their attraction or repulsion towards each other?

The magnetic field between two magnets determines their attraction or repulsion. If the magnetic fields are aligned in the same direction, the magnets will attract each other. If the magnetic fields are aligned in opposite directions, the magnets will repel each other.


What is the relationship between the strength of magnetic fields and the distance between 2 magnets?

The strength of magnetic fields decreases as the distance between two magnets increases. This relationship follows an inverse square law, meaning that the magnetic field strength decreases exponentially with distance. Therefore, the closer the two magnets are, the stronger the magnetic field between them will be.


The force field created between the poles of a magnet?

The force field created between the poles of a magnet is called a magnetic field. It arises from the movement of electric charges within the magnet and affects other magnets or magnetic materials within its vicinity. The magnetic field is responsible for the attractive or repulsive forces observed between magnets.


What are magnets surrounded by?

A magnetic field.


What does Magnetic potential energy is dependent on?

Magnetic potential energy is dependent on the magnetic field strength, the distance between the magnets, and the orientation of the magnets with respect to each other.


Does shape effect the magnetic repulsion between two magnets?

Yes, the shape of the magnets can affect the magnetic repulsion between them. Different shapes can influence the magnetic field distribution and how the magnetic forces interact with each other. For example, two magnets with a larger surface area in contact will experience stronger repulsion compared to two magnets with a smaller contact area.


Where do magnet forces act?

Magnetic forces act between objects that have a magnetic field, such as between two magnets or between a magnet and magnetic material like iron. The forces are strongest at the poles of the magnets and decrease with distance.


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.


Why can magnets attract from a distance?

Magnets can attract from a distance due to their magnetic field that extends into the space surrounding the magnet. When two magnets are within each other's magnetic field, the forces between them cause them to be attracted to each other.


What is The force that attracts or repels between magnets?

The force that attracts or repels between magnets is called magnetism. This force is caused by the alignment of the magnetic domains within the materials of the magnets, creating a magnetic field that interacts with other magnets.


What does a magnetic field reveal about two magnets when they are positioned next to each other?

When two magnets are positioned next to each other, the magnetic field reveals the direction and strength of the magnetic forces between them. This can show whether the magnets will attract or repel each other based on their polarity.


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.
