A magnetised material doesn't have the properties to attract or repel, however it can BE attracted. There is a clear difference between the two - make sure to not mistake them for eachother. Hope this helps. If you have any further querys I suggest questioning a teacher if you are at school, or contacting me. :)

What is the difference between a strong magnet and a weak magnet?

the domain strength is much stronger in a magnetised nail. when you have a weak nail, there is no magnetic force. sometimes they can repell. this is what i think and i always know best thank you


If you have a a magnet stuck to the nail then a paper clip stuck to the nail then you take the magnet away and the nail in the paper clip are still together why did that happen?

The magnet induced magnetic properties in the nail and the paper clip, causing them to attract each other. When the magnet was removed, the induced magnetism in the nail and paper clip allowed them to remain attracted to each other.


What object that attracts iron?

none of them. iron can be magnetised but the material itself is not magnetic


What is the difference between a magnet and an electromagnet?

A magnet is a material that produces a magnetic field naturally, while an electromagnet is created by passing an electric current through a coil of wire to generate a magnetic field.


How is the arrangement of domains different in a magnetised and a non magnetised piece of iorn?

In an unmagnetised piece of iron, these magnetic domains are arranged randomly and point in lots of different directions - they cancel each other out. In a magnetised piece of iron, all these domains point in the same direction. This makes one end of the magnet act as a north pole and the other end act as a south pole. The better the domains are aligned, the stronger the magnet. Bye bye!

How would you determine if a metal is magnetised?

You can put a magnet near the metal. If it gets attracted or repelled, then it is magnetised

Is not a permanent magnet?

An electromagnet is a magnet while an electric current is running through the coil. Turn off the current and it is no longer magnetised, and is, therefore, not a permanent magnet.

Is magnesium magnectic?

Magnesium is described as "paramagnetic" meaning it is weakly attracted by a magnet and cannot be permanently magnetised.

What is the steps of making non-magnetic materials to magnetic materials?

rub a magnet on it in the same way but the material has to be magnetised :)


Is steel atracted to a magnet?

Contrary to popular belief, most metals cannot be magnetised. The only common metals that can be magnetised are iron, cobalt and nickel. Mild steel, an alloy that contains over 98% iron, can also be magnetised because of its high iron content. Some steels, such as some stainless steels, have larger percentages of other metals which prevent them from being magnetised the same way.


Why is steel attracted to a magnet but not brass?

magnets attract steel why then is a compass needle affected by a pice of steel if the steel is not magnetised
