What is special is that those bits of metal are magnetized, and their orientation is such that their poles are pointed to the magnetic. Lastly, the poles of the bits of metal that are pointed toward the magnet are the same as the pole of the magnetic that is pointing toward them. North pushes away north, or south pushes away south. (Like poles repel while opposite poles attract.)

What happen to a metal place near magnet?

When a metal object is placed near a magnet, the magnetic field of the magnet exerts a force on the free electrons in the metal, causing those electrons to align in the same direction. This alignment creates a magnetic field in the metal, which either attracts or repels the original magnet, depending on the orientation of the magnetic poles.


How does a magnet affect another magnet something made of iron or a similar metal and moving charges?

A magnet exerts a force on another magnet due to its magnetic field, causing attraction or repulsion depending on the orientation of their poles. When a magnet interacts with iron or similar metals, it can induce magnetization in the metal, leading to a temporary magnetic effect. Moving charges, such as those in an electric current, create their own magnetic fields, which can interact with external magnetic fields, leading to forces on the charges and potential changes in their motion. This interplay is the basis for many electromagnetic devices and phenomena.


How does a magnet attract pins?

Stroke a magnet down the length of the pin repeatedly. The proximity and movement of the magnet along the pin cause some of the iron molecules to become aligned like those in the magnet. The more strokes, the stronger the magnetic field in the pin will become, up to a certain threshold (the number of iron molecules available and able to align in the pin is limited).


Will a 325 silver rope chain stick to a magnet?

A 325 silver rope chain is likely made of a silver alloy, which generally does not contain any magnetic metals like iron or nickel. Therefore, it should not stick to a magnet. However, if the chain has any metal components or is mixed with other materials, those parts might respond to a magnet. Overall, pure silver and its typical alloys are non-magnetic.


Are silver dollar coins magnetic?

No genuine silver coin will stick to a magnet. US silver coins are made of an alloy of silver and a small amount of copper, usually 90%/10% and neither of those metals is attracted to a magnet. However genuine 1799 dollars are rare, and it's very possible you have one of the many fakes that have flooded the market in recent years. These could be made of any base metal including those like steel that would be attracted.

How do you make a screwdriver into a magnet?

You just stroke it in the same direction a few dozen times with just one pole of a powerful permanent magnet.The screwdriver must be made of of iron or steel: it won't work if the screwdriver is made of something like brass, aluminum or plastic because those materials are non-magnetic!Lots of people try to make a magnet using both poles of a horseshoe-shaped magnet but then it won't work as well because the second pole of the magnet will reverse the magnetising effect of the first pole.All you have to do is keep stroking the metal with just one pole of your magnet, pressing hard and always going in just one direction only and then pick up the magnet at the end of each stroke.Stroke the metal over and over like that with just one pole of your magnet until the metal of the screwdriver gets magnetized enough to pick up other pieces of metal, like a smaller screwdriver or some metal paperclips.But be sure to to try your magnetized screwdriver only on other things that are also made of a magnetizable material such as steel.

What are the poles on a magnet?

One pole in a magnet which is n stands for north , and the other pole on a magnet which is s , stands for south. Those are the two poles on a magnet.

Can magnets also repel metal?

Yes, magnets can repel certain types of metal, specifically those that are ferromagnetic. When two magnets with like poles facing each other are brought close, they will exert a repelling force on each other. This repelling force can also act on certain metals, causing them to be repelled by the magnet.


Can a magnet pick up coins?

The above answer is NOT correct. Coins are not magnetic, but depending on the metal they're made of SOME of them may be attracted to a magnet. Specifically, coins made of steel or high concentrations of nickel will be attracted to a magnet but those containing other metals such as copper or aluminum are not. Some Canadian, British, and European coins are made of steel as were 1943-dated US cents; all of these are attracted to a magnet. Other coins though have a lot of copper in them (e.g. most US coins except cents) and these are NOT attracted to a magnet.
