What do atoms have that makes an object magnetic?

a magnet field..!


What causes an object to exhibit magnetism?

An object exhibits magnetism when its atoms have aligned magnetic fields, creating a magnetic force.


What does it mean if an object is magnetic?

If an object is magnetic, it means that it has the property of attracting materials that contain iron or other magnetic elements. This attraction is due to the alignment of the object's atoms in a way that creates a magnetic field.


Why some iron object magnetic and other not magnetic?

If the iron atoms are aligned then the object is magnetic, if they are randomly oriented then it is not. How the object was manufactured may be the cause of the difference, but it always possible to intentionally either magnetize OR demagnetize an object.


What makes an object magnetic?

An object becomes magnetic when its atoms have aligned magnetic moments, creating a magnetic field. This alignment can occur naturally in certain materials like iron, nickel, and cobalt, or can be induced through exposure to a magnetic field.


How are domains arranged in a magnetic object?

Without magnetic domains a magnet wouldn't have its magnetism. Magnetic domains are clusters of iron atoms that line up in the smae direction when magnetised. When unmagnitized the iron atoms scatter.


Why are some magnets magnetic and some are not?

If the iron atoms are aligned then the object is magnetic, if they are randomly oriented then it is not. How the object was manufactured may be the cause of the difference, but it always possible to intentionally either magnetize OR demagnetize an object.


Why are some iron objects magnetic and others not magnrtic?

If the iron atoms are aligned then the object is magnetic, if they are randomly oriented then it is not. How the object was manufactured may be the cause of the difference, but it always possible to intentionally either magnetize OR demagnetize an object.


How can you determine if an object is magnetic?

You can determine if an object is magnetic by using a magnet to see if the object is attracted to it. If the object is attracted to the magnet, it is magnetic.


What does an object need to be attracted to a magnet?

It needs to be made of a magnetic material, such as iron.Such materials are magnetic because they form magnetic domains, in which atoms align with one another (with respect to their axis of rotation).


Are magnetic forces stronger when heated or cool down?

Magnetic fields are stronger when cooled down. This is because the atoms that make up the magnetic material aren't moving as fast as a heated magnet's atoms. This means that the magnetic domains are less likely to move out of place and mess up the magnetic field.


What is the relationship between magnetic force and magnetic field?

Magnetic force is the force experienced by a magnetic object when placed in a magnetic field. The strength and direction of the force depend on the characteristics of the object and the field. The magnetic field is the region around a magnetic object or current-carrying conductor where another magnetic object experiences a magnetic force.
