A suspended magnet is usually a magnet suspended by a thin thread and allowed to rotate and swing freely. This will align itself to the Earth's magnetic field providing there is no other magnetic or electromagnetic influnence.

What kind of magnet is a magnetized nail?

A magnetized nail is a temporary magnet, known as an induced magnet. It becomes magnetized when it comes into contact with a permanent magnet, aligning its magnetic domains in the same direction. This temporary magnetism can be lost if the nail is no longer in contact with a permanent magnet.


How do you Turn a non magnetized object into a magnet?

You can turn a non-magnetized object into a magnet by rubbing it with a magnet in the same direction multiple times. This process aligns the magnetic domains within the object, causing it to become magnetized.


If a nail is made of steel will it be magnetized why?

Yes, if a nail is made of steel, it will will not be magnetized unless it is magnetized by a magnet by being hit.


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.


Is a magnetized magnet heavier than an unmagnetized magnet?

An unmagnetized magnet is not a magnet. A magnet remains a magnet only as long as it remains magnetic,and ceases to be a magnet when its magnetization is lost.Be that as it may in any event, the state of magnetization of a sample of magnetic material, whether magnetizedor unmagnetized, has no bearing, neither ball nor thrust, on the weight of the magnetic material. In other words,weight is invariant under a transformation of the magnetized state.


Do a steel nail and a magnet stick together?

A steel nail and a magnet can stick together because steel is a ferromagnetic material. This means that it can be magnetized and will be attracted to a magnet. When a magnet is brought close to a steel nail, the magnetic field can cause the nail to become magnetized, leading to attraction. However, if the nail is not magnetized or if the magnet is too weak, they may not stick together.


Is iron attracted by a magnet?

If the iron is magnetized, yes. It also depends on the size of the magnet.


What elements are used in magnet?

magnetized nickel and iron


How do you make a magnet without a magnet?

You can rub a permanent magnet against something else that can be magnetized, like a paper clip.


What kind of magnet is a magnet made from a steel paper clip?

If it has been magnetized by another magnet, then it is just a temporary magnet, but if it uses an electric current, then it is an electro-magnet.


What side of the magnet you use to magnetized water the north or the south pole?

Magnetized water exists only in the heads of magnetic therapists!


How do you magnetize a screwdriver?

Rub it against a magnet repeatedly. * The screwdriver can only be magnetized if made from steel or another magnetic metal, and most of them are. * Once magnetized, the screwdriver will remain magnetized always.
