No. Magnets behave like any other mass in relation to gravity.

Possibly. Spinning superconductors produce not only a weak magnetic field, the so-called London moment but an angularly accelerated superconductive ring also induces non-Newtonian gravitational fields in its neibourghood. It has been postulated by Tajmar and de Matos that the force carrying particles of both the electromagnetic force and gravity gain mass under such conditions. The effect has been named the gravitomagnetic London moment. (Credit ESA)

What is the meissner effect?

In case of normal material,the magnetic lines of force can penetrate the material,but in case of superconductor material the magnetic lines of forces repels from the material.Since superconductor materials have dimagnetic property.This effect is called meissner effect.


Will changing the electric field will have no effect on the magnetic fields of a body?

Changing the electric field in a region can induce a magnetic field according to Maxwell's equations. This is known as electromagnetic induction. So, changing the electric field can indeed have an effect on the magnetic fields of a body.


Does zeeman effect prove that there are high magnetic fields in sunspots?

Observations show that the spectral lines of light from sunspots are split. This is consistent with them having high magnetic fields (and it's even possible to estimate how high by the degree of splitting), because that's what the Zeeman effect is: the splitting of electronic energy levels (which in turn affects the spectrum of transitions involving those energy levels) by an external magnetic field.The effect itself doesn't directly have anything to do with sunspots particularly, and I'm not certain that I'd use the word prove, but the splitting combined with knowledge of the Zeeman effect is pretty substantial evidence that sunspots are correlated with magnetic flux.


What is the equipment used to measure magnetic force called?

The equipment used to measure magnetic force is called a magnetometer. Magnetometers can come in various types, such as fluxgate, Hall effect, or SQUID magnetometers, and are used to detect and measure magnetic fields.


Compare and contrast magnetism and gravity?

Gravitational fields and electromagnetic fields are different in that Gravitaional fields are dependent on the masses of objects and the electromagnetic field depends on the charges of objects.

How is light affected by magnetic fields?

Light is not directly affected by magnetic fields. However, when light passes through a magnetic field, the orientation of its electric and magnetic fields can be altered, a phenomenon known as the Faraday effect. This effect can cause the polarization of light to rotate, which can be useful in various scientific and technological applications.

Is there any magnetic effect on light radiation?

Light, or electromagnetic radiation, is generally unaffected by magnetic fields. Magnetic fields don't "bend" light, though photons will follow the curvature of spacetime around massive gravitational fields.

Can x rays be affected by magnetic fields?

Yes, X-rays can be affected by magnetic fields. When passed through a magnetic field, the path of the X-rays can be altered, leading to changes in the resulting image or data obtained. This effect is known as the Faraday effect.


What is another force or phenomenon that cannot be seen directly?

Gravity is a force that cannot be seen directly but is evidenced by its effects on objects. Magnetic fields are another phenomenon that cannot be seen but can be detected through their influence on magnetic materials. Both gravity and magnetic fields play important roles in the physical interactions of matter.


If you made another compass with the same materials would the needle point be in the same direction?

the needle points in the direction the magnetic fields wish. The gravity pulls the compass nearer and nearer the magnetic fields.

Can bacteria survive in the presence of magnets?

Yes. Static magnetic fields have very little effect on biological processes, even alternating magnetic fields have limited effect but the more advanced the biological entity, the greater the chance that the magnetic field will affect. Bacteria, being very simple, will experience little.


What is the definition of the word electromagnetism?

Electromagnetism is the interaction of electric currents or fields and magnetic fields. It is the magnetic field created when an electric current passes through a wire, and is extremely useful because the magnetic effect stops as soon as the current stops.
