The ancient Greeks, particularly Thales of Miletus, were some of the earliest to study magnets around 600 BC. They observed that a naturally occurring mineral called magnetite (lodestone) had the property of attracting iron.
The ancient Greeks were the first to discover natural magnets in a region called Magnesia, which is how magnets got their name. Thales of Miletus, a Greek philosopher, is often credited with being the first to study the properties of magnets.
No, not all metals are attracted to magnets. Only certain metals, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt, are attracted to magnets due to their magnetic properties. Other metals, like aluminum, copper, and gold, are not attracted to magnets.
Magnets as such was not invented.Rocks containing the mineral Magnetite are naturally magnetic and were used as the first magnets.Later when humans understood the nature of and composition of materials in a magnetic rock we started to experiment and actually invented other types of magnets.1730 - Compound MagnetServigton Savery produces the first compound magnet by binding together a number of artificial magnets with a common pole piece at each end.1740 - First Commercial MagnetGowen Knight produces the first artificial magnets for sale to scientific investigators and terrestrial navigators.For more information, please check out Related link down below.
they were made of magnetite and always will be
Magnets attract specific types of metals such as: Iron Nickel Cobalt Steel Try this: Get a magnet hover it over different objects, see what it attracts and repels (doesn't attract).
Magnets are very important when driving your car. First of all, they're involved with your speedometer, tachometer, galvonometer (fuel gauge), and all the other gauges on your dash boards.

Not all magnets are made of metal. There are various types of magnets, including ceramic magnets (made of ferrite), neodymium magnets (made of neodymium, iron, and boron), and even electromagnetic magnets that are not made of metal.
They were first studied in the 17th century by Leibniz.
Magnets are not alive so they do not have cells at all.
lodestones by h2o power bye sytilte go to first magnets use d.com
since magnets are all ready magnetised when found in nature called natural magnet artificial magnets that are made by man are called artificial magnets
all magnets have two poles
magnets are used in class,at home or even in the loo!Everybody uses magnets all the time.You might be using one now,for all we know.
