Question

Why are iron atoms so strongly affected by magnetic fields?

Answer 1

Here is your answer ✌️

Magnets attract iron due to the influence of their magnetic field upon the iron. ... When exposed to the magnetic field, the atoms begin to align their electrons with the flow of the magnetic field, which makes the ironmagnetized as well. This, in turn, creates an attraction between the two magnetized objects

Hope it helps you ❤️

Answer 2

It is not iron atoms that are affected but it could tend to form regions and thus regions, clusters and thus includes magnetized by taking part in magnetic field. It is being forced that is exerted and strongly affected by a field.

A compass contains a magnet always free to move around in response to the Earth magnetic field.
