A magnet is not "charged" in the same way as a battery or capacitor. Instead, it has magnetic properties because of its alignment of atoms which create a magnetic field. This allows magnets to attract or repel other magnets or magnetic materials.

Will a positively charged glass rod be attracted to a magnet?

No, a positively charged glass rod will not be attracted to a magnet. Magnets attract materials with unpaired electrons or magnetic properties, which glass does not have.


Is 'magnet' a simpler synonym for 'magnetite'?

No. Magnet is aword for apiece of metal that has been charged with magnetic properties, Magnetite is a mineral.


Were is the charged particle flow in a permanent magnet?

I believe it is in the material. It says that everything has charged particles in it. It also says that in order for a material to be magnetic, then, its atoms have to line up in a certain way so that the electrons in the material all have the same general motion. So if it's a permanent magnet, then the charged particles would be in the material.


What items connect to a magnet?

Other items that are charged with an opposite magnetism.


A block of metal is attracted to a magnet What must the block contain?

Do electromagnets stay charged?

Electromagnets do not stay charged. They work by maintaining and creating a field around an object. If the force is broken then the magnet will go weak as well.


How do you strengthen a magnet?

You can strengthen a magnet by exposing it to a strong magnetic field, either by placing it near another strong magnet or using an electromagnet. You can also induce a current in the magnet by tapping it with a hammer or passing an electric current through it to realign its magnetic domains and increase its strength.


What layer of the atmosphere acts like a giant magnet?

The ionosphere, which is part of the thermosphere layer of the atmosphere, acts like a giant magnet due to its high concentration of charged particles. These charged particles interact with Earth's magnetic field, creating the auroras and affecting radio communication.


How are magnets charged?

A temporary magnet is "charged" by aligning their electronic spins in one direction (each atom acts like a magnet this way, the the effect multiplies). It's what happens when you turn the power on an electromagnet.


What do you call the magnetic force around a magnet?

I'm pretty sure its the 'magnetic field'


On a magnet which pulls and which repels?

Parts that have the same charge will repel. Opposite charges attract/pull each other. So positive sides of magnets attract negatively charged magnets and repel positively charged magnets. Negative sides of magnets attract positively charged magnets and repel negatively charged magnets.


How does a magnet work in space?

In space, a magnet works the same way as it does on Earth. A magnet creates a magnetic field around it that attracts or repels other magnetic materials. This is because the movement of charged particles within the magnet creates a magnetic force. In space, the lack of air or gravity does not affect the magnet's ability to create a magnetic field.
