introduction of magnet and magnetic properties
Answers
Explanation:
The magnetic properties of materials are mainly due to the magnetic moments of their atoms' orbiting electrons. The magnetic moments of the nuclei of atoms are typically thousands of times smaller than the electrons' magnetic moments, so they are negligible in the context of the magnetization of materials.
Answer:
What is a Magnet?
A magnet is defined as
An object which is capable of producing magnetic field and attracting unlike poles and repelling like poles.
Properties of Magnet
Following are the basic properties of magnet:
When a magnet is dipped in iron filings, we can observe that the iron filings cling to the end of the magnet as the attraction is maximum at the ends of the magnet. These ends are known as poles of the magnets.
Magnetic poles always exist in pairs.
Whenever a magnet is suspended freely in mid-air, it always points towards north-south direction. Pole pointing towards geographic north is known as the North Pole and the pole pointing towards geographic south is known as the South Pole.
Like poles repel while unlike poles attract.
The magnetic force between the two magnets is greater when the distance between these magnets are lesser.
