Magnetism is created by the synchronized spins of atoms with unbalanced electron clouds.
The lowest energy states for these unbalanced atoms is to align themselves with nearby atoms and spin in unison, creating the magnetic field we are familiar with.
Most atoms have balanced electrons, or have electron configurations which do not have low energy states when aligned, thus no inclination to spin together in large groups, and no magnetic field.
What else can I help you with?
What are 2 uncommon materials that are magnetic?
Two so called rare earth materials that are magnetic are neodymium and samarium.
Why are materials magnetic?
the materials are magnetic because of electromagnetic forces and this force is produced because of presence of positive and negative charges in them
Do magnets repel non magnetic materials?
No, a magnet does NOT have the ability to attract materials that are NON-magnetic (unless it has something magnetic on it, or has magnetic material in it). Duhhh!!! I'm in seventh grade and even I know that!!! ; )
How do scrap yards separate metals from non magnetic metals?
They use electromagnets to separate magnetic metals from non-magnetic metals/materials in scrapyards.
What is the attraction to magnets called?
The word magnetic, or the word ferromagnetic refer to materials that can be attracted by magnets.
Is the following sentence true or false most materials have weak magnetic property's?
Yes most materials have weak magnetic properties
Which material are magnetic?
Ferromagnetic materials like iron, cobalt, nickel and steel are magnetic. Most other materials are not.
Why are most materials non magnetic?
Most materials are non-magnetic because their atoms have paired electrons with opposite spins that cancel out the magnetic moments. In these materials, the magnetic fields of individual atoms or molecules cancel each other out, resulting in no overall magnetic behavior. Materials like iron, nickel, and cobalt are exceptions because their atoms have unpaired electrons that align to create a net magnetic moment.
Is Fabric magnetic?
No, fabric is not magnetic. Magnets are attracted to materials that are made of iron, nickel, or cobalt, but most fabrics are made from materials that are not magnetic, such as cotton, polyester, or wool.
What type of magnetism is characteristic of most materials?
Diamagnetism, in which materials have a weak repulsive response to magnetic fields, is most characteristic of most materials.
Does most material have magnetic properties?
No, not all materials have magnetic properties. Materials like iron, nickel, and cobalt are examples of ferromagnetic materials, which exhibit strong magnetic properties. However, materials like wood, plastic, and glass are not magnetic.
What is the difference between magnetic materials and non-magnetic materials?
Magnetic materials are materials that can be magnetized and can create a magnetic field, such as iron and nickel. Non-magnetic materials do not respond to magnetic fields and cannot be magnetized, such as wood and plastic.
Magnetism from a magnet cannot pass through magnetic materials?
While magnetism from a magnet can influence the magnetic properties of materials, it can typically pass through most magnetic materials. However, some high-permeability materials like mu-metal can redirect or shield magnetic fields.
What is the name of something that is not magnetic?
Try "non-magnetic". Also, since most magnetic materials contain Iron, then any non-ferrous metals are non-magnetic.
Is shrapnel magnetic?
Shrapnel itself is not inherently magnetic; its magnetic properties depend on the materials from which it is made. Most shrapnel is composed of steel or other ferrous materials, which are magnetic. However, shrapnel made from non-ferrous materials, such as aluminum or plastic, would not exhibit magnetic properties. Thus, whether shrapnel is magnetic depends on its composition.
Why is it in most materials the magnetic field produce by the different atoms cancel each other?
In most materials, the magnetic fields produced by individual atoms tend to align in opposite directions due to their random orientations. This alignment results in the overall magnetic field generated by the material being canceled out because of the tendency of the atomic magnetic moments to counterbalance each other. This phenomenon is known as magnetic cancellation and is why most materials are not strongly magnetic in nature.
Are materials with magnetic properties magnetic materials?
Yes, materials with magnetic properties are often referred to as magnetic materials because they exhibit characteristics such as attracting or repelling other materials with magnetic properties and the ability to create magnetic fields.
