Is the nucleus of an atom of the magnet also a magnet?

No!The smallest particle in which a magnet still has the same magnetic properties is a called a domain. If you split this domain into other remnants, then that particle shall seize to become a magnet and shall just be a piece of matter


What happens when a horse shoe magnet is dipped in iron fillings?

When a horseshoe magnet is dipped in iron filings, the iron filings become magnetized and align themselves along the magnetic field lines emitted by the magnet. The filings cling to the magnet, visually demonstrating the shape and strength of the magnetic field. This process highlights the magnetic properties of the iron filings, which temporarily become magnets themselves due to the influence of the horseshoe magnet.


Does magnet attract unmagnetized iron?

Yes, a magnet can attract unmagnetized iron. This occurs because unmagnetized iron has domains of magnetic moments that can align with the magnetic field of the magnet, causing the iron to become temporarily magnetized. When brought close to a magnet, the unmagnetized iron will experience a force that draws it toward the magnet.


What type of magnet can only attract materials when it is touching another magnet?

A temporary magnet, such as an electromagnet, can only attract materials when in contact with another magnet or when an electric current is flowing through it. It loses its magnetism when the current is turned off or the magnetic field is removed.


An iron nail that comes in contact with a strong magnet may become a magnet itself because of what?

The iron nail becomes a magnet itself when it comes in contact with a strong magnet due to a process called induction. The magnetic field of the strong magnet aligns the magnetic domains within the iron nail, causing it to also exhibit magnetic properties.

How a steel nail can become a magnet?

No it can't become a magnet.


Will rod magnet still become a magnet when it cut across into thin slices?

yes.when you slice a rod magnet it will still be considered as a magnet


How can a magnet be demagnetized using another magnet?

When a magnet is exposed to a strong magnetic field from another magnet, the alignment of its magnetic domains can be disrupted, causing it to lose its magnetism and become demagnetized.


How can a magnet be temporarily magnetized when attached to a permanent magnet?

When a magnet is attached to a permanent magnet, it can become temporarily magnetized by aligning its magnetic domains with the strong magnetic field of the permanent magnet. This alignment causes the magnet to exhibit magnetic properties for a short period of time.


Why might a permanent magnet become unmagnetized if it is dropped?

Dropping a permanent magnet can cause the magnetic domains within the material to become misaligned, reducing its overall magnetic field strength. This process can demagnetize the magnet if it is subjected to a strong enough impact.


Is magnetite a magnet?

No, it's a permanent magnet. It consists of an iron oxide, and iron is a permanent magnet.


Can a paperclip become a magnet?

no cuz chris said so


Is the magnet in a compass a permanent magnet or a electromagnet?

It is a permanent magnet. Electromagnets(as the name suggests) requires an electric source to become a magnet, when the power source is turned off it will not function as a magnet.


Why does a magnet lose its' magnetism by hammering and heating?

When a magnet is hammered or heated, it disrupts the alignment of its magnetic domains, causing them to become disordered. This disorderliness reduces the overall magnetic field strength of the magnet, resulting in a loss of magnetism.


Can a magnet lose its magnetism with no other influence other than another magnet?

No, but it can become magnetically satable. Basically, an equilibrium is active.


Why does magnet attract?

The magnet induces magnetism in the iron - small magnetic regions in the iron become aligned, due to the magnetic field.


What happens when you put jam on a magnet?

Jam/Jelly has no effect on the magnet or its magnetism, but it will cause the magnet to become sloppy and sticky.
