Questions Related to making magnets

Which of the following cannot be used to make a magnet?

physics properties of a magnetic field let's make a magnet making magnets making and handling magnets

  1. Cobalt

  2. Iron

  3. Ebonite

  4. Steel

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Iron, cobalt and steel are ferromagnetic materials which can be used to make magnet but ebonite cannot be used to make magnets.

______ is the only natural magnet. Fill in the blank.

  1. Magnetite

  2. Ebonite

  3. Cobalt

  4. Nickel

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Among the following options, magnetite is the only natural magnet.

A substance consisting of a coil of wire with an iron core and is only magnetized when an electric current flows through it is called :

  1. Magnet

  2. Electromagnet

  3. Coil

  4. Battery

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The phenomenon of converting a substance into a magnet by flowing an electric current through a coil around it is known as electromagnetism and the magnet so formed is known as electromagnet.

All magnetic materials lose their magnetic properties when :

  1. Dipped in water

  2. Dipped in oil

  3. Brought near a piece of iron

  4. Strongly heated

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
All the magnetic material lose their magnetic properties when strongly heated.
Every magnetic materials have a temperature called the curle point; above which they will lose their magnetism.
OPTION : D.

Magnets lose their properties if :

  1. A.C. is passed through them

  2. heated strongly

  3. dropped from a height

  4. all of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A,B
Explanation:

When a magnet is treated above 176℉ (80)℃ magnet will quickly loose their magnetic properties. The magnet will become permanently demagnetized if exposed to those temperatures for a certain length of time.

By passing an alternating current the magnetic property can be removed because the alternating current produces a reverse magnetizing field which opposes the object magnetism.

 

A.  Ferromagnetic materials will lose their magnetism if heated above a point known as the Curie temperature.
B. You would have to re-magnetize the magnet again, either in a solenoid or with another permanent magnet, in order to restore the magnetism.
C. If you heat a magnet up a little bit, it will lose some of its magnetism, but on returning to room temperature full magnetism can be restored. 
Which among the following is/are true?

physics properties of a magnetic field let's make a magnet making magnets making and handling magnets

  1. Only A

  2. Both A and B

  3. Only C

  4. All A, B and C

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All the three statements are true that the ferromagnetic materials lose their magnetism on heating above the Curie temperature,

The magnet has to re-magnetized with another magnet or solenoid to restore its magnetism and the magnetism of the magnet is fully recovered when it is kept at room temperature after heating.

By which of the following activity, a magnet can loose its property?

physics properties of a magnetic field let's make a magnet making magnets making and handling magnets

  1. Excess of heating

  2. Demagnetizing magnetic field

  3. Sudden shock

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
A magnet shows magnetic behavior because of the presence of domains which are specific formations consisting of electrons which exhibit magnetic behavior.
By all these actions, all the arranged magnetic domains which exhibit magnetic property due to their specific arrangement get rearranged and that specific formation of magnetic domain which is responsible for its magnetic behavior is destroyed.
And hence the magnet will loose its magnetic behavior.

A mixture of iron and nickel can be easily magnetized, even in a weak field. Which results in the formation of a ________. Fill in the blank.

physics properties of a magnetic field let's make a magnet making magnets making and handling magnets

  1. Permanent Magnet

  2. Electromagnet

  3. Temporary Magnet

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A mixture of iron and nickel is magnetized by applying an external magnetic field. This convert the mixture into a temporary magnet for the time when the field has been applied.

A magnet can induce magnetism in

  1. brass

  2. aluminium

  3. glass

  4. steel

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

As the magnet can include the magnetism is femo magnetic materials.

Only, Brass is a I.M material.

Soft iron pieces are placed across the ends of bar magnets when stored. Such pieces are called :

physics fun with magnets let's make a magnet making magnets making and handling magnets

  1. preservatives

  2. keepers

  3. compasses

  4. poles

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Soft iron pieces are placed across the ends of bar magnets when stored; such pieces are called magnetic keepers. If the two magnets are placed side by side there will be mutual repulsion or attraction that weakens the magnetic strength. So magnets are placed side by side with opposite poles near to each other.
