Magnetic materials (materials capable of becoming magnets), such as iron, have the capability to form small magnetic regions, called "magnetic domains". In these, the atoms are oriented in a preferential direction, causing the magnetism; when an external magnetic field is applied, the domains themselves rotate, so that more of them point in one direction than in the other. In that case, the material is magnetic.A magnetic field may also be caused by an electrical current. This is used in electromagnets.

What is used to separate magnetic material from a mixture of other substances?

A magnet. The magnet will attract the magnetic material to it and so separate the magnetic material from the mixture.


Double touch method of making a magnet?

The double touch method involves stroking a ferrous material (such as iron) with a magnet in the same direction twice. This aligns the magnetic domains within the material, creating a temporary magnet. The material will only remain magnetic while in contact with the original magnet.


How did a magnet become a magnet?

A material becomes a magnet when its domains align in the same direction, creating a magnetic field. This alignment can be achieved by exposing the material to a magnetic field or by rubbing it with an existing magnet.


How does a non magnetic material behave when a magnet is placed near?

A non-magnetic material will not be attracted to a magnet and will not exhibit any magnetic properties. It will not stick to the magnet or experience any noticeable changes in its behavior when the magnet is placed near it.


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.

What is the process or material that determines what makes a permanent magnet?

The material and process that determine what makes a permanent magnet is the alignment of magnetic domains within the material. When these domains are aligned in the same direction, the material becomes magnetized and exhibits magnetic properties.


What makes magnets stick too metal?

Can a magnet repel a ferromagnetic material?

Yes, a magnet can repel a ferromagnetic material if the poles of the magnet and the material are aligned in a way that causes repulsion.


How does the interaction of magnetic fields and electric currents contribute to what makes a magnet work?

The interaction of magnetic fields and electric currents creates a magnetic force that aligns the atoms in a material, making it magnetic. This alignment allows the material to attract or repel other magnets, which is what makes a magnet work.

Can a permanent magnet and a temporary magnet be made from the same magnetic material?

no they can not.


Stroking a magnetic material in one direction with a magnet produces a magnet by?

aligning the magnetic domains within the material in the same direction. This creates a magnetic field in the material, making it a magnet itself.


The magnetic force of a magnet is?

The magnetic force of a magnet is the force that a magnet exerts on another magnet or a magnetic material. It is responsible for attracting or repelling objects with magnetic properties. The strength of the magnetic force depends on the material and shape of the magnet.


Is brass a magnet or a magnetic material?

no


Can a magnet ever repel a ferromagnetic material, such as iron or steel?

Yes, a magnet can repel a ferromagnetic material under certain conditions, such as when the poles of the magnet are aligned in a way that causes repulsion.
