✯ Characteristics of Magnet. ✯
Following are the characteristics of magnet:
1)Attractive property: This property proves that the magnetic strength at the ends of the poles is strong.
2)Directive property: This property helps to understand which pole of the magnet is north and south by suspending the magnet in mid-air.
Law of magnetic poles: Like poles repel while unlike poles attract.
3)Pair property: When a magnet is cut into two pieces, both the pieces will have the North Pole and the South Pole.
4)Sure test of magnetization: This test is conducted to check if a given rod is magnetized or not by checking either the attraction or the repulsion of the iron rod and magnet.
