What must a magnet do to generate an alternating current?

To generate an alternating current, a magnet must use kinetic energy. This means that the magnet must move at a certain speed and velocity in order to create a strong enough energy charge.


Where the south end of a bar magnet always point to the?

The south end of a bar magnet always points toward the Earth's geographic north pole. This is because the Earth itself acts like a giant magnet, with its magnetic field lines emerging from the geographic south and entering the geographic north. Thus, the south pole of a magnet is attracted to the magnetic north of the Earth.


Is it true or false that A magnet can have one or two poles?

Currently, to my knowledge, nobody has discovered a monopole (magnet with a single pole), although this is something that is predicted by super string theory and the grand unification theory. So for now, in your everyday life, it is safe to say that a magnet always has two poles.


What are natural magnet?

Natural Magnet The lodestone is a species of iron ore which has the property of attracting iron and some of its ores. When freely suspended it always points to the poles.


Why dousn't a magnet move to the North Pole?

It is impossible currently to create a magnet with only one pole, or magnetic monopole. This is because a magnet arises from the magnetic directional alignment of the material, so cutting a bar magnet in half will simply cause the two pieces to become their own bar magnets, both pointing the same way as the original.

How can the polarity of a magnet be determined?

Use a compass. It will always point to a magnet's south pole.


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

Is magnetite a magnet?

No, it's a permanent magnet. It consists of an iron oxide, and iron is a permanent magnet.


Do magnet bracelets work?

There is no scientific proof whatsoever that magnet bracelets work. There will be a few people who swear by them. And there will always be vendors.


What is the magnetic length of a magnet?

The effective length of a magnet is the distance between the magnetic poles. It is always less than the geometric length of the magnet,though the actual relation between the two depends on the shape of the magnet.


What is different about an electromagnet compared to a regular magnet?

An electromagnet is different from a regular magnet because it can be turned on and off by controlling the flow of electricity through it, while a regular magnet is always magnetic.
