How do we protect a magnet
Answers
Store your magnets with a keeper – A keeper is a small piece of iron that is generally added temporarily between the north and south poles of a magnet. It prevents the magnet from demagnetising by redirecting its magnetic field.
Store your magnets in pairs – Keep magnets in pairs to avoid both north and south sides from touching. Both poles of the same alignment should never be allowed to touch, as this will cause the magnetic fields to repel and cause the magnets to weaken over time.
A dry place – Corrosion easily occurs to magnets that are stored in a damp environment. Corrosion will affect the strength of the magnets, especially if they rust, which causes an air gap. This will produce an insecure bond for ferromagnetic materials. Also, if magnets get wet, it can cause the laminate to bubble. If a magnet must be used in wet environments, make sure you’re using a magnet designed for water, and that the magnet is dried and cleaned regularly.
Keep in a non-ferromagnetic space – When storing multiple magnets, keep them in a non-ferromagnetic container. A great example would be a tightened wooden box or Tupperware® container. The container your magnets are stored in will help the magnet avoid attracting any undesirable metal debris.
Answer:
Keep a thick piece of plastic or cardboard between them which makes them a little easier to pull apart. Try storing them in a separate container to prevent them from sticking to other magnets
