For an electromagnet, increasing either the current or the number of turns of wire will generate a stronger field.

For a permanent magnet, the strength is limited by what it's made of. Some materials make better magnets than others. This is a topic in the fields of ceramic engineering and Metallurgy, and can't be answered in a simple one-paragraph blurb.

Why are strong magnets attracted to a door magnet in a bowl of water then three metal thumbtacks?

The strong magnet is attracted to the door magnet because opposite poles attract each other - the door magnet was likely oriented to attract the strong magnet. The metal thumbtacks are not attracted to the strong magnet because the magnetism of the thumbtacks is weaker compared to the door magnet.


Will a strong magnet attract a piece of copper?

no it wont because copper is not a type of magnet even though it is a metal


How do you magnetize a magnet?

To magnetize a magnet, you can rub it against another magnet in the same direction multiple times. Alternatively, you can expose the magnet to a strong magnetic field in the same direction. This will align the magnetic domains within the material and make it magnetic.


Does a network solid make a magnet float over?

No, a network solid does not make a magnet float over it. The interaction between a magnet and a network solid will depend on the properties of the materials and the magnetic field. In general, a strong magnetic field may influence the behavior of a network solid, but it is unlikely to make a magnet float over it without other external forces at play.


Why do strong magnets attract both poles of weaker magnets?

coz if you try to attract a weak and a weak side it wont stick. same with the strong and strong side. But if you put a strong side next to a weak side it will attach. When a strong magnet is brought nearby the domains line up more closely with the magnetic field. The result of this reorientation is an overall magnetization of the weaker magnet.

Where you get magnet?

To get a magnet.Magnets are available in nature.You can make a magnet by tying a piece of iron to a strong magnet for some time.You can also get a magnet by making an Electo-magnet or solenoid.


How do you make a powerful magnet?

To make a powerful magnet, use a strong magnetic material like neodymium. Shape it into a magnet by applying a magnetic field while it cools down. Finally, the magnet can be magnetized by rubbing it against a magnet or by exposing it to an electrical current.


What happens when a strong electric field is passed through a permanent magnet?

The electrons of the permanent magnet would align the way the electromagnetic field passed through the magnet.


Can you magnetize a metal by putting the metal on top of a magnet?

Some metals are naturally paramagnetic, meaing that you can induce a magnet field on it but only with a very strong magnet. To actually magnetize the metal itself without a magnet, you would have to make an induced magnet by wrapping the metal around a copper wire and sending electricity through it. It all has to do with the arrangement of the electrons within the metal.


Is lodestone a weak or strong magnet?

A lodestone is a naturally occurring magnet and is considered to be a strong magnet.


Can a magnet move a car?

A magnet can move a car, if the magnet is strong enough.


How do you make a magnet by stroking?

To make a magnet by stroking, you can rub a piece of iron or steel with an existing magnet in the same direction multiple times. This process aligns the magnetic domains within the material, creating a magnetic field in the iron or steel.

Can you make a magnet from ordinary iron?

Yes, you can turn ordinary iron into a magnet by placing it in a strong magnetic field or by stroking it repeatedly with a magnet. This process aligns the magnetic domains in the iron, making it magnetic.
