Question

1. What are magnetic materials?

Answer 1

Answer:

Materials that can be magnetized, which are also the ones that are strongly attracted to a magnet, are called ferromagnetic (or ferrimagnetic). These include the elements iron, nickel and cobalt and their alloys, some alloys of rare-earth metals, and some naturally occurring minerals such as lodestone.

Answer 2

• Magnetic materials are those that have the ability to generate a state of magnetism.
• In the surrounding space, such materials produce a magnetic field.
• The reaction of a substance to an external magnetic field is what defines magnetism.
• The material's spinning electrons act like tiny magnets.
• The material gets magnetised when these small magnets are aligned in the direction of the applied magnetic field.
