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 is the meaning of the science word repel?
To repel something is to keep it away. To attract something is to draw it towards oneself. "Repel" and "attract" are words usually used to describe magnetism. Magnets have two opposite ends, or "poles", called "north" and "south". When the north pole of one magnet gets close the north pole of another magnet, they repel each other. When the north pole of a magnet gets close to the south pole of another magnet, they attract each other. Chuis attarct is when to magnets push together like the north and south magnet attract. repel is when to magnets pull apart from each other like the north pole and the north pole repel
What is someone who studies magnets called?
A magnetometer is a device used to measure the intensity and direction of a magnetic field.
Is a bar magnet stronger than a u-shaped magnet?
circular because you can find small circular magnets called "rare earth super magnets" at the store called princess auto
What are metals that are attracted to magnets or made into magnets called?
Unpaired electons (which is to say, electrons not paired with another electron of opposite spin).
When two magnets pull apart or push together it is called?
When the magnets pull apart they are attracting each other because, there is a South Pole of a magnet and a North Pole i of a Magnet. :)
Why do magnets sometimes stick together and sometimes push apart?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_field
Magnets can push as well as pull what is that called?
Magnetic Repulsion
How do you pull apart powerful magnets?
Some magnets are stronger than others, making them harder to pull apart. For strong magnets, you can pull the magnets sideways to get them apart.
What is it called wen 2 magnets push away?
Repulsion. They repel each other.
Why can't a perpetual motion machine be made from magnets repelling each other?
The two magnets would push each other apart until friction takes-over, then there'd be no more motion.
How can magnets change?
magnets can be made destroyed or broken apart
What are the end of magnets called?
When two magnets are brought close to each other and they try to move apart, we say the two magnets each orher
When magnets are pulled apart what happens?
They say the two magnets are reppeling each other.
How can magnets push?
Remember that push or pull is force. Magnetic can be a push or pull because magnets has a kind of attraction force that attracts objects to itself and can also repel objects from itself. If we take two magnets into action we can demonstrate bothphenomenons. Magnets have a north and south pole, if we make face a south and a north pole of the magnets they will eventually attract each other and will stick together and if we make face the north pole of one magnet to the other north pole of the magnet they repeal (push) each other apart. Remember that this phenomenons of magnetic attractions are not applied to every single thing but limited to its opponent or limited to the objects that it can apply the push or pull strategy.
What has north and south pole's?
Apart from the earth, all magnets have a north and south pole.
