What is a magnet ?

1 Answer

Answer :

An object that creates a magnetic field , which then exerts a force on another magnet or magnetic substance, is called a magnet. In the general sense, objects that attract iron , nickel, etc., are considered as magnets.

Description : When a piece of iron is rubbed with a magnet it acquires magnetism ' What kind of change is this and why ?

Last Answer : When a piece of iron is rubbed by a magnet, it acquires magnetism ' is a physical or positional change. This is because when rubbed by a magnet, no other substance is formed from iron. Again , when a piece of magnetized iron is heated, it loses its magnetism and is converted into ordinary iron.

Description : The method of magnetization is: (1) hammering a magnet (2) heating a magnet (3) passing direct current through it (4) passing alternating current through it

Last Answer : (1) hammering a magnet Explanation: Hammering a rod will either allow it to become slightly magnetic inlaid along a magnetic field (i.e.North - South) or demagnetize it if laid across the field lines (i.e. East-West). A current passing through a coil will produce a magnetic field.

Description : The south pole of the earth’s magnet is near the geographical ________. (1) south (2) east (3) west (4) north

Last Answer : (4) north Explanation: The South Pole of the Earth's magnet is in the geographical North because it attracts the North Pole of the suspended magnet and vice versa. Thus, there is a magnetic S-pole near the geographical North, and a magnetic Npole near the geographical South
