Answer 2

nickel

Iron, nickel, cobalt, rare earth elements, their alloys.

The strongest alloy known today is Nd2Fe14B.

There are several elements that are ferromagnetic. Among these are iron, cobalt, nickel, dysprosium.

Gallium

Answer 3

There are a few types of magnet.

STEEL MAGNETS: Steel is an alloy that consists mostly of iron(element) and has a carbon(element) content between 0.2% and 2.1% by weight, depending on the grade. Various other alloying elements are sometimes used, such as manganese, chromium, vanadium, and tungsten(elements).

NEODYMIUM is a naturally occuring magnetic metal element.

there are many different composite magnets too, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnets for more :)

Answer 4

"Structure" is an imprecise term. So is "magnet," for that matter.

The simplest kind of iron bar magnets have a structure of, well, iron. More complicated rare earth magnets generally have a more complicated crystal structure, but still, there aren't any "moving parts" inside a magnet, it's just whatever it's made of.

The structure of an electromagnet is basically "wire wrapped around a metal core of some kind". The core isn't actually required, but all else being equal an electromagnet with a soft iron core is stronger than one with no core.

Answer 5

There are several types of magnets, and this categorization depends of the materials that compose the magnet itself or as you called it, to what it "contains":

1. First magnets: natural magnet (magnetite, ceramic), iron and steel (metal).

2. Major traditional magnets: Alnicos (metal) and ferrite (ceramic). Ferrite magnetsare made of the most common, and is considered a hard material. The alnico is considered as a soft material (used for cores of Transformers and electromagnets).

3. Super magnets or rare earth magnets: cobalt magnets with rare earth (such as the Neodymium-Iron-Boron (NIB or NiFeB), Aluminum-Nickel-Cobalt (AlNiCo) and others, and neodymium (both metal).

4. The electromagnet: iron or steel with an electric field around it.

5. "Plastic" magnets: mixture of plastic with magnetic material, like those you can stick in the refrigerator.

Answer 6

The magnet is made of chromium, iron and nickel. Iron is the best magnetic material.
