A magnetic field induces an electric current. Hence, by placing the iron bar close to the magnet, a current is induced; and so we are, in effect, creating an electromagnet.

What are some examples of induced magnets?

Some examples of induced magnets are when a piece of iron is brought close to a permanent magnet and becomes temporarily magnetized, or when an electric current flowing through a coil of wire induces magnetism in a nearby object. Magnetic induction can also occur in materials like nickel or cobalt when placed in a magnetic field.


Why does a magnet attract an iron nail to either of its poles but attracts another magnet to only one of its poles?

it has no north or south end its neutral so it goes to both but other magnet has both N & S so it only connects to others N & S so = nail=E mag = N & S so E=N & S but S=N & E so S only goes to the N side of the magnet


Will a magnet stick to aluminim?

No, aluminum is not magnetic so a magnet will not stick to it. Magnetism occurs in materials that are ferromagnetic, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt.


How would you describe a temporary magnet?

A temporary magnet is a material that becomes magnetic when placed in a magnetic field and loses its magnetism when the magnetic field is removed. This differs from a permanent magnet which retains its magnetism without the need for an external magnetic field. Temporary magnets are often made from materials like iron, steel, or nickel.


Permanent and temporary magnets?

A temporary magnet is something that has been magnetized that won't stay a magnet for long, such as a paperclip that you have rubbed with a magnet. A Permanent magnet is usually a Lodestone that is found naturally or is manufactured by a company. Permanent magnets are always magnetic.

What is Gilbert experiment?

There are several experiments known as Gilbert's Experiment, but the most common is in induced magnetism. This showed that an piece of iron became temporarily magnetic when placed on a magnet. This is why sprinkled iron on a paper over a bar magnet seems (but actually does not) show magnetic lines of force. Instead the iron particles just obey Gilbert's Law of Induced Magnetism.


Magnetism can sometimes be in an iron object by rubbing it with a magnet?

Yes, this process is known as magnetization. When an iron object is rubbed with a magnet, the domains within the iron align in the direction of the magnetic field created by the magnet, causing the iron object to become magnetized.


What type of magnet has iron in it?

magnetism


What is a example of induced magnetism?

Magnetic fields can be generated by either a permanent magnet, or generating it by electrical flow such as through a coil. If the magnet is then put near another material such as iron... the iron will then also start exhibiting an INDUCED magnetic field. Induction motors operate on this principle with the armature being non-magnetic... and the motor operates by inducing a magnetic field into the armature. Superconductors are unique that a magnet will induce an opposite magnetic field in them, and will be repulsed by the magnet.


Why does iron become magnetised?

The magnet, in this case, will induce magnetism in the iron. The iron has lots of tiny areas that are magnetic, but normally point in random directions; placing a magnet nearby will allign those, and thus induce the magnetism.


Magnetism can sometimes be induced in an iron object by?

1.Stroking it with a magnet 2. Applying a current to a coil of wire wrapped around the iron


How does the process of electromagnetic induction work?

The process by which a substance, such as iron or steel, becomes magnetized by a magnetic field. The induced magnetism is produced by the force of the field radiating from the poles of a magnet.


What is the definition of magnetic keepers?

A magnetic keeper is a strip of soft iron or steel which is placed across the poles of a permanent magnet to help preserve the magnetism.


Which force pulls the iron nail towards a magnet?

Magnetism


Which pole of a magnet is attracted to iron?

Any of the two poles will work. It will induce magnetism in the iron.
