They don't, but we're starting to get annoyed. Why do people keep asking us Mormons about magnets? They're great, they stick to metal, they hang things on the fridge... whats the big deal? I don't know... someone started asking Mormons about magnets and we don't know why.

How are electro magnets different from other magnets?

Electromagnets use electricity to create a magnetic field, which can be turned on and off. They are typically stronger than permanent magnets. In contrast, permanent magnets, like those made of iron or nickel, are always magnetic without the need for an external power source.


What do magnets attract that electromagnets do not?

Magnets attract magnetic materials like iron, nickel, and cobalt. Electromagnets, on the other hand, can attract or repel any material that responds to a magnetic field, as they can be turned on/off by controlling the electric current flowing through them.


Can you make a hovercraft out of magnets?

No, it is not possible to make a hovercraft solely out of magnets. While magnets can be used to levitate objects (like in magnetic levitation trains), the principles are not practical for creating a hovercraft due to the need for a continuous power source and stability in motion.


Are magnets present in bombs?

Yes--There are bombs that are magnetic.When two magnectics touch the bomb will go off. Sometimes it can start a charge. Bombs in general, no.


What types of magnets are used in heavy industry?

In heavy industry, the most common types of magnets used include electromagnets, permanent magnets, and magnetic separators. Electromagnets are often employed for lifting heavy metal objects due to their adjustable strength and ability to be turned on and off. Permanent magnets, made from materials like neodymium or ferrite, are used in applications such as motors and conveyor systems. Magnetic separators are utilized to remove ferrous contaminants from materials and improve product purity in processes like mining and recycling.
