You can pull the cord from the magnet to make it weaker so it wont pick up as many items you think it will

What are the benefits of using an electromagnet rather than a bar manet?

An electro-magnet can be switched on & off - a bar magnet is 'permanent' Think of a scrap-yard. If the magnet they use to pick up huge quantities of metal were permanent, they'd have to manually remove every piece. With an electro-magnet, they simply turn the power on to pick up a load, and off when they want to release it. You can make your own electro-magnet with a battery, some wire and a large nail.


How does heat make a magnet stronger?

When heat is applied to a magnet, the thermal energy causes the atoms to vibrate more, disrupting their alignment and reducing the magnetism. If the heat is removed, the atoms can realign, potentially increasing the magnet's strength. However, this process is not always consistent and may depend on factors like the type of magnet and the level of heat applied.


How do you magnetise a needle?

You can magnetize a needle by rubbing it against a magnet in one direction multiple times. This process aligns the magnetic domains within the needle to create a magnetic field. Alternatively, you can use a strong electrical current to induce magnetization in the needle.


How can you make a magnet stick to aluminum?

You cannot make a magnet stick directly to aluminum because aluminum is not magnetic. However, you can make a magnet stick to aluminum by placing a magnetic material, such as iron, in between the magnet and the aluminum surface.


How do you make a electro magnet with a wire and a nail and electricaty?

To make an electromagnet with a wire, a nail, and electricity, wrap the wire around the nail to create a coil. Connect the ends of the wire to a power source, such as a battery. When the electricity flows through the wire, it generates a magnetic field, magnetizing the nail.

Why are hard magnetic materials used to make electromagnets?

Hard in this sense means materials that are themselves not easily magnetised. In fact, the part that you are referring to isn't really the magnet - it is the core, the magnetic field is produced by the coil, the core just concentrates the field. In an electro-magnet, the core must retain little or no field when the coils are not excited/energised. This means that items picked-up/attracted by the electro-magnet are no longer attracted when the coil is denergised - you can unload/drop the load from your crane or hoist by switching off the electro-magnet.

Try using electrolysis to separate the oxygen from the hydrogen in water. How about making electricity with a lemon and two nails, or you could make an electro magnet by winding a coil around a nail and connecting it to a battery.


How do you create a magnet?

The easiest way to create a magnet would be to get a piece of iron or other ferro-magnetic material and expose to a strong magnetic field. The strength of the resulting magnet would be directly proportional to both the strength of the original field and the period of exposure. Note that the newly magnetic metal will get weaker and weaker over time. This effect can be observed with refrigerator magnets and paper clips: if you put one of the clips on the magnet, it will then be able to pick up other clips for a short period of time, even when off the magnet.One way to create a magnet that doesn't get weaker with time is to make an electro-magnet: take a coil of wire and run an electric current through it. This set-up is called a solenoid, and the strength of the resulting field depends on the current and the number and density of loops in the coil. This field can also be strengthened by wrapping the coil around a bar of iron or other ferro-magnetic material.


Why will dropping an iron magnet on a hard floor make it weaker?

In case of iron there are domains which have been aligned facing one particular direction thereby making it as N-S magnet. As it is dropped then the alignment may get disturbed and so it makes the magnet weaker. Suppose we heat it then misalignment becomes enormous and so it would almost loose the magnetism


Can you de-magnetise a magnet by putting it in hot water?

Sort of. Magnets become weaker with heat, but boiling water is not enough to completely demagnetize unless it was a very weak magnet to begin with. It will become weaker, but the only fool-proof way is to make it borderline molten, completely randomizing the domains.


How does the weight of a magnet affect its strength?

The weight of a magnet does not directly affect its strength. The strength of a magnet is determined by its magnetic material, shape, and how it is magnetized. A heavier magnet may have more material in it, which could potentially make it stronger if the material used has high magnetic properties.
