A magnet is a metal which attracts or repels other materials.​ Magnets have two poles, north and south. Magnets have an invisible magnetic field that allows them to attract or repel certain materials.

​About magnets

​

According to Greek legend, magnetism was first discovered by a shepherd named Megnes, who lived in Megnesia, Greece. Megnes was herding his sheep through the mountains.

​Discovery of Magnets

​

Permanent magnets are perhaps the most common type they are used to manufacture refrigerator magnets, as well as in jewelry making.

​

Most common type of Magnet?

Temporary magnets can be useful in applications that generate a temporary magnetic field and require a magnetic response for the duration of the field.

Magnetization​

​Magnetization is the process of turning a magnetic material into a temporary magnet.

Take a magnetic metal object and rub a strong magnet on it by placing the magnet on one end and pulling it towards the other end. these steps should be repeated at lest 70 to 80 times.​

​

​Single touch method

​

Electromagnets can be created by wrapping a wire around an iron nail and running current through the wire. The electric field in the wire coil creates a magnetic field around the nail.

Demagnetization of Magnet

​Demagnetization is to lose magnetic properties or remove magnetic properties from a magnet.

ways to demagnetize Magnets:

rough handling.

hammering the magnet.

passing an alternating current around the magnet.

dropping the magnet on the floor.

heating the magnet to a very high temperature.
