Most fridge doors are made of steel which is magnetic. When you bring N/S pole of Magnet near the door it creates oppposite ple S/N on the door and due to attractive force the manet sticks to the fridge.

Can a magnet stick to a wrench?

Yes, if the wrench is made of a ferromagnetic material like iron or steel, a magnet will stick to it. This is because ferromagnetic materials can be magnetized and attract other magnets.


What causes magnets to attract the refrigerator?

Magnets attract the refrigerator due to the magnetic force between the magnet and the metal components of the fridge, which are typically made of ferromagnetic materials like iron or steel. This magnetic force creates a bond between the magnet and the refrigerator, causing the magnet to stick to the surface.


Name one use of magnets in everyday life?

One of the most common use for magnets is on cupboard doors to hold them closed you will also find magnets in lots of electrical devices because they are a main component in speakers of all sizes even the tiny ones used in phones. I could go on and on but you only asked for one and I gave you two.


Will magnets stick to kitchenaid stainless steel refrigerator?

Magnets are made up of ferromagnetic materials (iron, nickel, cobalt, neodymium alloys, etc.) or even semipermanent magnets. Each of these has a material that has some degree of magnetic permanence, where the spins of the electrons in the substance all align to generate a magnetic field. Refrigerators are made up of ferrous materials, to which magnets can stick, due to magnetic attraction.


What metals dont stick on magnet?

There are many metals used to make magnets, one of the most common was an alloy called alnico for it components: aluminum, nickel, and cobalt. However there are much better magnetic alloys now that I don't know the names of.

What force makes metal stick to a magnet?

It is magnetism. Remember, most metals don't stick to magnets. Iron (and steel), and cobalt and nickel do, but none of the other common ones do.


Where can you find a magnet in a refrigerator?

There is a magnet-lined door seal on most refrigerators and there are magnets in the electric motor that runs the cooling compressor, There may be a few small magnets on the doors sticking on that picture of a bunny rabbit your daughter drew for you.


What appliances in the house contain magnets?

The hard drive in your computer has one or two very strong magnets. Also there are two very strong magnets in the magnatron of most microwave ovens. CAUTION! If you attempt to remove the magnets from a microwave make sure you have some knowledge of the insides. There is a capacitor inside that must be discharged. If you happen to touch the capacitor you could get a very deadly shock as this capacitor stores an enormous amount of voltage that may or may not be discharged. There are magnets in the door seal on the refrigerator and freezer. Speakers from most any stereo, tv, radio, etc. have them. Headphones, telephone ringers, door bell solenoids, shower curtain weights, and many other items. Most are permenant magnets, but some are electromagnets.


What you decide the north and south pole of magnet?

First of all magnes discovered magnets and two like poles of a magnet never attract. you can see the tips of the magnets are the poles they are the places where most magnetic things stick Thanks Gaurang
