Q25. What is the proper way of storing the bar magnets and horse-shoe magnet when not in use?
Explain with the help of a labelled diagram.
Answers
Answer:
The bar magnet should be stored in pairs in a wooden box, separated by a piece of wood, such
that their opposite ends face each other. Pieces of iron should be placed at both the ends of a
horseshoe magnet. These iron pieces are called magnetickeepers.
Answer:Hi mate...Glad to answer you...
Magnets can loose their magnetic power if we do not take proper care of
them.
The following precautions must be taken for storing magnets:
Magnets should never be handles roughly .
Magnets should never be heated.
When we are not using magnets they should be stored along with magnetic keepers to avoid self demagnetisation.
A magnetic keeper is a piece of soft iron.
Two magnets are arranged with their opposite poles lying side by side.
A piece of wood should be kept between them and two pieces of soft iron placed across the poles.
Hope this helps...
