What can be magnetised?

ferro magnetic substances can be magnetised. but it is not necessary that all the Ferro magnetic substances can be permanently magnetised. it depends on the alignment of domains in the substance.for example wrought iron can be magnetised permanently but soft iron can only be magnetised temporarily(Electro Magnets).


Why do steel and iron attract each other?

Metals can be magnetised which can produce an attractive force.


How do you magnetise a iron bar?

If you wrap a length of wire around the iron bar then pass a current through the wire, the bar will become magnetised.


Why is iron better core then steel?

Because I said so Because steel remains magnetised Source: me


Is Mercury has magnetic properties?

No. Mercury is not a magnetic substance nor can it be magnetised. Iron, Cobalt and Nickel are the only ones.


What types of magnetize but lose magnerism quikly?

If you mean what metals magnetise and demagnetise quickly, soft iron is a good one. It is a good core for an electromagnet because it demagnetises when switched off. Hard iron, ie steel, will remain magnetised and remain magnetised until something drastic like melting it occurs. Hope this helps.


What is the difference between a weakly magnetised nail and a strongly magnetised nails?

A Weakly magnetised nail will pick up less paper clips then a highly magnetised nail, Hope That Helps:)


Is steel atracted to a magnet?

Contrary to popular belief, most metals cannot be magnetised. The only common metals that can be magnetised are iron, cobalt and nickel. Mild steel, an alloy that contains over 98% iron, can also be magnetised because of its high iron content. Some steels, such as some stainless steels, have larger percentages of other metals which prevent them from being magnetised the same way.


What happens to the domains in a piece of iron when it becomes magnetised?

The iron automatically divides into domains separately. It does not exist in a state when magnetization occurs in the same direction, in the entire material. This is to minimize its internal energy.


What is the difference between a weakly magnetised nail and a strongly magnetised nail?

The strong magnetised nail will pick up more paper clips than the weak magnetised nail.That is because the strong magnetised nail is getting more strength and that means that the weak magnetised nail is getting less strength.in a steel nail there are these things called domains, in a weakly magnetised nail some of them will be pointing north, south, east and west, but however in a strongly magnetised nail all the domains will point to north.
