Will a magnet stick to lead?
See question:How strong does a magnet have to be to affect lead?Lead (Pb) is a diamagnetic material. It means that it will behave magnetically just like wood or water. So it doesn't matter how strong a magnet is, it will never attract lead.What's more, it will even push it away, but with so little force that it is barely observable.The required magnet strength is also affected by the weight of the lead block. For example, about 10-20 Teslas will be enough to levitate a small piece of lead. But even this requires a huge magnet, considering your average fridge magnet is about 5 mTesla (0.005 Tesla) strong. Neodymium magnets can reach 1 Tesla.
What characteristics differentiate a magnet from a piece of iron that is not magnetic?
A magnet has the ability to attract other objects and create a magnetic field, while a piece of iron that is not magnetic does not have this property. This is due to the alignment of the atoms within the material, which allows a magnet to have a north and south pole, while non-magnetic iron does not exhibit this behavior.
What piece of equipment would iron and other metallic objects use to separate?
Iron and other metallic objects can be separated using a magnet. The magnet will attract the iron and other ferrous materials, allowing them to be easily separated from non-metallic materials.
How can you tunna piece of iron in to a temporary magnet?
You can turn a piece of iron into a temporary magnet by stroking it with a permanent magnet in the same direction multiple times. This process aligns the magnetic domains within the iron, creating a temporary magnetic field.
How can a piece of iron be temporarily magnetized?
A piece of iron can be temporarily magnetized by stroking it with a magnet in the same direction multiple times. This aligns the magnetic domains within the iron, creating a temporary magnetic field. Charging the iron by induction, where it is brought close to a strong magnet, can also temporarily magnetize it.
How would you distinguish between soft iron a piece of copper and a magnet?
Soft iron will not have any magnetic properties unless it is magnetized, while a piece of copper will not be attracted to a magnet at all. A magnet will attract both soft iron and copper, but the attraction will be stronger for the soft iron due to its ability to become magnetized.
How does the distance affect the ability of a magnet to attract a piece of iron?
Well I don;t know the correct terms,but I think the distance is sometimes affect cause if the magnet is small the force would be as strong as you think but if the magnet is large the magnetism would be stronger than the small magnet of pulling together.
How do you create electricity at any place?
by moving a piece of magnet in between a copper coil.
How can you figure out if a piece of metal is iron or aluminum?
Hold a magnet against it. magnets attract iron.
Where you get magnet?
To get a magnet.Magnets are available in nature.You can make a magnet by tying a piece of iron to a strong magnet for some time.You can also get a magnet by making an Electo-magnet or solenoid.
How can you turn a piece of iron into a magnet?
To turn a piece of iron into a temporary magnet, wind a coil of (insulated) copper wire around it and run a DC current through the wire. The iron will become the core an electromagnet -- the one you just constructed. As long as direct current flows through the coil, the iron core will attract ferromagnetic materials.jkghyjy Wrap many coils of lacquered copper wire round an iron nail. When electricity is sent through the coils, the nail becomes magnetised. The iron is an electromagnet as long as the power is on. When a piece of iron is brought near the magnet it also becomes a temporary magnet.
How does distance affect the ability of a magnet to attract a piece of iron?
Well I don;t know the correct terms,but I think the distance is sometimes affect cause if the magnet is small the force would be as strong as you think but if the magnet is large the magnetism would be stronger than the small magnet of pulling together.
Do opposite ends of a magnet attract or repel?
Then you will end up with two magnets, each half will be a new magnet, with both a north and a south pole. But the magnet will be weaker.
Can a magnet attract to a demagnetized iron rod?
Yes. In this case, the magnet will induce magnetism in the iron, which is originally unmagnetized. Once the magnet is removed, the iron may return to an unmagnetized state; unless the magnetic field near the piece of iron is very strong.
A magnet attracts a piece of iron and the iron can then attract another piece of iron .What is the basis of this attraction?
When an iron piece is quite away from the magnet ,i.e, not present in magnetic field of the magnet then the iron piece is in neutral state ,i.e, there is no north & south pole . But , as soon as the iron piece interacts with magnetic field of magnet ,i.e, near to the magnet then the north pole of magnet make the nearer part or end of the iron piece south pole & simultaneously other part of iron becomes north pole . Similarly if south pole of the magnet interacts with iron piece then that end/part becomes north pole & other end becomes north pole . Now this iron piece has north & south pole .So iron piece is now converted into magnet which can attract other iron pieces in similar way as explained before .
What is it called when a pen is on a piece of paper and a magnet is under it and the pen moves in the same direction as the magnet?
This is called magnetism. metals in the pen attract the negative and positive charges in the magnets.
What kind of magnet is an electromagnet?
An electromagnet is a piece of iron(usually a cylinder or rectangle)wrapped around with copper wire that when electricity runs through it it works like a magnet. Also called artificial magnet.
