Question

what r the four major properties of magnet​

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

MAGNET :

The object that attracts iron and some other materials known as magnet.

• Magnets are made up of group of metals.
• Magnet produces magnetic field.
• The two ends of the magnets are south pole and north pole.
• Magnet attract unlike poles and repelling like poles.
• Types of magnet :- Permanent magnet, temporary magnet, and electromagnets.

★ Characteristics of the magnet :

• Magnet have the attractive property.
• Magnet have the pair property.
