Why might a permanent magnet become unmagnetized if dropped?
When a permanent magnet is dropped, the impact could cause the magnetic domains within the magnet to become misaligned, leading to partial or total demagnetization. The force and shock from the drop can disrupt the alignment of the magnetic domains, causing the magnet to lose its magnetic properties.
Why does the acceleration of a magnet decrease while falling through a coil?
Because as it falls through the coil it causes an electric current to flow in the coil. The energy for this electricity comes from the kinetic (the movement ie the falling) energy of the magnet. Thus as it falls through the coil it slows down as a little the energy of the falling movement is turned into electricity.
What is a suspended magnet?
A suspended magnet is usually a magnet suspended by a thin thread and allowed to rotate and swing freely. This will align itself to the Earth's magnetic field providing there is no other magnetic or electromagnetic influnence.
When you drop a magnet it loses some of its power to what object?
When a magnet is dropped, it loses some of its power to other magnetic materials in its surroundings. This can occur when the magnet aligns with the poles of another magnet or when it induces a magnetic field in a nearby object, causing it to become magnetized temporarily.
What direction will a magnet line up in if it is free to move?
A freely moving magnet will align itself in a north-south direction, pointing towards the Earth's magnetic poles. This behavior is due to the magnet's natural attraction to the Earth's magnetic field lines.
When a bar magnet is dropped through a vertical length of copper pipe it falls noticeably more slowly than dropped through a vertical of plastic pipe why?
When a bar magnet is dropped through a copper pipe, it induces an electric current in the copper due to electromagnetic induction. This current creates an opposing magnetic field that interacts with the falling magnet, producing a magnetic force that slows its descent. In contrast, a plastic pipe does not conduct electricity, so no such currents are generated, allowing the magnet to fall freely without any resistance.
What will happen if a magnet is dropped?
The falling magnet will dislodge some air as it falls. When it hits the ground it will cause a vibration carried by the air molecules to you ear creating a bang noise. Then, depending on the force of the fall and the surface on which it lands it may, or may not crack.
What is the type of force in a bar magnet suspended freely?
The type of force in a bar magnet suspended freely is magnetic force. The magnet aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field, resulting in a net force acting on the magnet.
If suspended freely in which direction will horseshoe magnet will align?
yes it does
Does a freely suspended magnet always point in the north south direction?
Yes. A freely suspended magnet always point in the north south direction.
When a magnet is dropped in a non ferrous pipe why does it not stop?
Unless a magnet dropped in a non-ferrous pipe is stopped by some imperfection in the pipe surface itself, it will not be stopped because a non-ferrous surface will not cause a magnet to cling to it.
What happens when a magnet is freely suspended?
it will rest in the north - south direction
A small magnet that can trun freely is a?
A small magnet that can turn freely is called a compass. Compasses align with the Earth's magnetic field and can be used to find directions such as north, south, east, and west.
What happens when the north pole of the magnet is brought near the south pole of a freely suspended magnet?
Get attracted and stick on together
What would a freely suspended magnet do?
A freely suspended magnet will align itself in the north-south direction due to Earth's magnetic field. The north pole of the magnet will point towards the geographic north pole, and the south pole will point towards the geographic south pole.
What to do if keys are dropped down the drain?
use one magnet to help you.
Why does a magnet left to float freely on a cork end up pointing north or south?
If a magnet is "left to float freely", it will align to any magnetic field - or more precisely, to the horizontal component of the magnetic field. And if there is no stronger magnet nearby, this field will be governed by Earth's magnetic field.
