Answers
Answer:
There are three methods of making magnets: (1) Single touch method (2) Double touch method (3) Using electric current. Single Touch Method: This is the simplest and also the most convenient method to make a small magnet that does not have a very big field of attraction.
There are four different methods of making magnets.
1. Single-touch method — A magnet is rubbed along the magnetic substance from one end to another.
2. Double-touch method — Opposite poles of two random magnets are placed next to each other at the center of the magnetic substance and rubbed in opposite direction along it.
3. Magnetizing by Induction — It is a method to make temporary magnets under the influence of a magnetizing force.
(i.e. A permanent magnet is brought close to the magnetic substance but not touched.)
4. Electric current — A magnet made by using electric current is called an electromagnet. It is a temporary magnet and stops behaving like a magnet when the current is stopped.
