Magnetism is a physical property because attracting something to a magnet does not change the substance (change of the composition) itself and doesn't involve chemical reactions.
The magnetic state of a material depends on temperature (and other variables, such as pressure and the applied magnetic field), so a material may exhibit more than one form of magnetism depending on its temperature, etc. However, the magnetism doesn't change the substance itself.

What distinguishes a permanent magnet from a temporary magnet?
Permanent magnets do not lose their magnetic ability. Temporary magnets, however, gain magnetic properties when they are touched or moved by a permanent magnet. The properties of a temporary magnet dissipates over time after the permanent magnet is removed.
Is mercury attracted to a magnet?
Mercury, although it does posses some interesting physical and chemical properties, should not be attracted to a magnet. It is considered to be diamagnetic, which means it would actually oppose a magnetic field and repel. If you have more questions on mercury or diamagnetism.
Physical properties of coal and snow?
physical properties of coal and snow
Can heating a magnet cause it to loose its magnetic properties?
Yes, a magnet looses it's power even when it is hammered.
Do all objects have physical properties?
All material objects have physical properties.
Is heating a bar magnet chemical or physical change?
Actually itz just a temporary physical change.........as u dont add on subtract anything frm the magnet exept heat.....,heat does not effect chemical properties of an iron magnet..
What is the separation of mixtures based on?
The physical properties of the things in the mixture. It could be that one part of the mixture is soluble, the other part insoluble - both physical properties. It could be that you use the boiling point of 2 liquids to separate them - physical properties. You could use a magnet if one part is magnetic and the other isn't - physical properties. And so on. But you are relying on physical properties rather than chemical properties.
What are the physical properties of Pyrite?
It is a natural magnet that attracts iron.
What physical properties could be used to separated iron filings from salt?
By means of using magnet because magnet has a magnetite that can attract iron filings to separate it to other substance.
Is magnet a forcewhy?
No, a magnet is a physical object. However, a magnet can EXERT a force.
Jim drops an iron magnet during a chemistry lab experiment and she finds that it is no longer magnetic so what has happened in terms of its properties?
A physical change occurred in which the iron remained iron, but lost one of its physical properties.
How can physical properties be used to separate iron sand salt and water?
Use a magnet to remove the iron, a filter or screen to remove the sand, and a still to remove the salt.
How might you separate a mixture of iron shavings and sand by using their differing physical properties?
You would use a magnet and the magnet will attract the iron since its magnetic the sand would stay michael Zender

What will happen to poles in a magnet when you cut a magnet in two?
Nothing happens, except that now you have two magnets. The poles of a magnet are not actually localized at the two ends of the magnet but are inherent to the magnetic properties of the magnet. As the magnetic properties are not altered by a modification of the magnet such as cutting it in half, there will be no effect on the poles of the magnet.
What distinguishes a permanent magnet from a temporary magnet?
Permanent magnets do not lose their magnetic ability. Temporary magnets, however, gain magnetic properties when they are touched or moved by a permanent magnet. The properties of a temporary magnet dissipates over time after the permanent magnet is removed.
Does most material have magnetic properties?
No, all materials do not have magnetic property. But if an iron is rubbed with a natural magnet,gets the properties of magnet.
