Question

What is the main element used to create a magnet? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The most common metals used for permanent magnets are iron, nickel, cobalt and some alloys of rare earth metals. There are two types of permanent magnets: those from “hard” magnetic materials and those from “soft” magnetic materials

Answer 2

Answer:

The main element used to create a magnet is any ferromagnetic substance.

Explanation :

• The fundamental process by which some materials produce permanent magnets or are drawn to magnets is known as ferromagnetism and they are done using ferromagnetic substances.
• Included in this group of ferromagnetic substances are the metals iron, nickel, and cobalt as well as their alloys, a few rare-earth metal alloys, and a few naturally occurring minerals like lodestone.
• The ferromagnetic metals are a class of metals that are used to make all magnets.
• These are metals like iron and nickel. Each of these metals possesses the unique ability to magnetise consistently.
• Atoms' core nuclei are circled by spinning electrons, and in some atoms, such as the metal iron, a subatomic force causes the spin of electrons from nearby atoms to line up as well, combining their magnetic fields.
• This generates a magnetic field outside of the atoms, which results in the formation of magnets.
