magnets are usually composed of iron, though any polarizable metal will suffice.

What is temporary magnet made up of a wire wrapped around a core?

A temporary magnet made up of a wire wrapped around a core is called an electromagnet. When an electric current flows through the wire, it creates a magnetic field in the core, turning it into a magnet. This type of magnet can be turned on and off by controlling the flow of electricity.


What is the internal structure of a magnet?

As we know every particle is made up of tiny particles called atoms,each magnet is made up of tiny particles called Molecular magnets.Each of them acts as a individual magnet with North and South poles.There arrangement decides the polarity of the magnets


What happens if you put a magnet in a drawer full of nails and the magnet doesn't pick any of the nails?

If the magnet does not pick up any of the nails in the drawer, it could be due to a weak magnetic field of the magnet or the nails being made of a material that is not attracted to the magnet, such as stainless steel. Some nails are made from non-magnetic materials, so they wouldn't be attracted to a magnet.

A temporary magnet.


Can a magnet pick up coins?

The above answer is NOT correct. Coins are not magnetic, but depending on the metal they're made of SOME of them may be attracted to a magnet. Specifically, coins made of steel or high concentrations of nickel will be attracted to a magnet but those containing other metals such as copper or aluminum are not. Some Canadian, British, and European coins are made of steel as were 1943-dated US cents; all of these are attracted to a magnet. Other coins though have a lot of copper in them (e.g. most US coins except cents) and these are NOT attracted to a magnet.

Why won't a magnet pick up a penny or a piece of wood?

A magnet won't pick up a penny because pennies are made of non-magnetic materials like copper and zinc, which are not attracted to magnets. Similarly, a magnet won't pick up a piece of wood because wood is also non-magnetic and does not have magnetic properties to be attracted to the magnet.
