What else can I help you with?
Can a magnet be in oil and still attract to iron?
Yes, a magnet can be submerged in oil and still attract iron. The presence of oil does not interfere with the magnetic field generated by the magnet, as oil is not a magnetic material. Therefore, the magnet will still be able to attract ferromagnetic materials like iron, regardless of being in oil.
Does a permanent magnet still work when the bottom of it is glued to wood?
Yes, a permanent magnet will still work when glued to wood. The magnetic field of the magnet will still extend beyond the wood, allowing it to interact with other magnetic materials. The only difference may be a slight decrease in the strength of the magnetic field due to the presence of the wood.
My magnetic toe rings only have one magnet should they still work?
Having only one magnet in your magnetic toe ring may still provide some benefits, but it may not be as effective as if there were multiple magnets. Multiple magnets are thought to create a stronger magnetic field, which some believe to help with various health issues. You can still give the single-magnet toe ring a try and see if you notice any positive effects.
When you cut a bar magnet into two half what will be the field strength?
When a bar magnet is cut in half, each half will become a new magnet with its own north and south poles. The magnetic field strength of each half will be approximately half that of the original magnet, but both halves will still exhibit a magnetic field. The overall field strength in the vicinity may remain similar, but the individual magnetic dipoles created will have reduced strength compared to the original magnet.
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
If you cover magnetic paint with fabric is it still magnetic?
Yes. The proximity of fabric doesn't change the magnetic properties of magnetic paint. Umm... the paint will still be magnetic even if you bury it in the desert where nobody will find it. However, depending on the thickness of the fabric, it may not noticably attract ferrous objects any longer! Try experimenting with thin fabrics like nylon or silk and then slightly thicker fabrics -- to find how thick the fabric can be to still permit the paint to act as a magnet for your purposes.
Is a magnet still magnetic if it is in the fridge?
Yes
Can a magnet be in oil and still attract to iron?
Yes, a magnet can be submerged in oil and still attract iron. The presence of oil does not interfere with the magnetic field generated by the magnet, as oil is not a magnetic material. Therefore, the magnet will still be able to attract ferromagnetic materials like iron, regardless of being in oil.
Does a permanent magnet still work when the bottom of it is glued to wood?
Yes, a permanent magnet will still work when glued to wood. The magnetic field of the magnet will still extend beyond the wood, allowing it to interact with other magnetic materials. The only difference may be a slight decrease in the strength of the magnetic field due to the presence of the wood.
Can you cut a magnet and the magnet still work?
No. You'll end up with two smaller magnets, and each will have less than half the magnetic field strength of the original magnet.
What happens when you break a magnet?
As you break a magnet, the remnant (broken piece) shall still remain a magnet with the same properties and poles. However, there is only so far a magnet can be broken. Visualize a magnet. Now imagine to have a knife that would keep cutting the magnet into half. It will reach a point that cutting the 'magnet' further would yield into a particle with no magnetic charge whatsoever. This is called a magnetic domain. Cutting a magnetic domain further would yield into a charge-less particle as it would be obviously incorrect to state that an atom of a magnetized steel bar would still remain a magnet.
Will a magnet still be a magnet if it is melted?
A magnet is produced by aligning the magnetic domains in a material to point in the same direction. When heated, the magnet loses its magnetism as the molecular motion, which is caused by heating, destroys the alignment of the magnetic domains. Ferromagnetic materials also lose its magnetism after being melted. However, when the magnet is being hammered whilst cooling in a magnetic field, the melted magnet would gain its magnetism again.
When magnet broken in half each half is a magnet?
Yes, each half still has magnetic properties.
If you break a magnet in half what happens to the magnetic poles?
If you break a magnet in half, each half gains a new pole. For example, you are holding a magnet in both hands with the north magnetic pole in your left hand and the south magnetic pole in your right hand. You break the magnet in half. The half that is in your left hand gains a new south magnetic pole and the half that is in your right hand gains a new north magnetic pole.
Can a magnet still work through solid objects?
Depends on the solid object. Generally, yes. A magnetic material (steel, iron etc.) offers some shielding while a superconducting magnet offers I believe perfect shielding. Fridge magnets work just fine through paint, paper etc. It's the thickness of paper pushing the magnet away from the door that stop you holding up a book, not that the magnetic force is stopped by the paper.
Is a magnet still magnetic if you crush it?
Assuming the crushing process doesn't totally jumble the domains, yes.
My magnetic toe rings only have one magnet should they still work?
Having only one magnet in your magnetic toe ring may still provide some benefits, but it may not be as effective as if there were multiple magnets. Multiple magnets are thought to create a stronger magnetic field, which some believe to help with various health issues.
