Why is steel not used to make electro magnets?

steel is note for an elecromagnet because once it turned magnetic it stays magnetic


Why does steel stick to magnets but alomanem doesn't?

Steel contains iron, which is ferromagnetic and can be magnetized. Aluminum, on the other hand, is not ferromagnetic but paramagnetic, so it is not attracted to magnets. This difference in magnetic properties explains why steel sticks to magnets but aluminum does not.


How are electro magnet different from permanent magnet?

Electro magnets differs from permanent magnet because it requires electricity. A simple electro magnet consists of an iron rod wrapped in a coil of copper and when electricity flows through the copper, a magnetic field is formed.


Is steel wool attracted to magnets?

Steel wool is generally not attracted to magnets because it is made primarily of steel, which is a ferromagnetic material. However, its attraction to magnets can vary depending on the composition of the steel and the presence of other materials. If the steel wool is made from pure iron or contains a significant amount of ferromagnetic elements, it may exhibit some magnetic properties. But typically, the fine strands of steel wool do not show a strong attraction to magnets.


Why do iron and steel stick to magnets?

Iron and steel are ferromagnetic materials, meaning they can be magnetized. When a magnet is brought near iron or steel, the magnetic field of the magnet aligns the magnetic domains within the material, causing them to attract and stick to the magnet.

Why are magnets used?

Electro magnets can be very useful to carry heavy loads of iron and metal from one side of a factory to another. Electro-magnets are formed by shooting electricity through a coil of copper.


What can be made into magnets?

iron steel cobalt


Why do magnets stick to the refrigerater?

Because refrigerators are made of steel (iron) even though they have nice finish on the outside and magnets are attracted to steel (iron).


Are there more magnets than Iron and Steel?

there is only 4 iron steel nikel and cobalt


Do magnets only attract to iron and steel?

Yes


What is 5 items that stick to magnets?

Any five items made primarily of iron (or steel, which itself is mostly iron).


Why is steel attracted to metal but brass is not?

Steel is attracted to a magnet because of its iron content. Brass contains no iron.


How do magnets stick to refridgerators?

Refrigerators are made of steel, which is mostly iron, and iron is magnetic.


What do magnets stick on?

They stick to other magnets or iron, cobalt and nickel.


Do magnets stick to wrought iron?

Yes, magnets can stick to wrought iron because it contains a small amount of ferrous material that is attracted to magnets. However, wrought iron is not as magnetic as steel, which contains a higher percentage of iron.


Are magnets attracted to steel?

The three elements effected by magnetism are Iron, Nickel, and Cobalt. Steel is a iron alloy.Generally speaking, yes , steel is magnetic. But it should be noted that there are a number of steels that are not magnetic. In order to answer this question, you must first identify the type of steel. Steel can also be magnetized[or made to be magnetic] using an electric field.
