What happens when you bring a magnet close to some paper clips?

If you bring a bar magnet close to pile of paper clips, the paper clips will become temporarily magnetized. As a result, the paper clips will stick to the magnet. They will also stick to each other. Once the magnet is removed the paper clips will no longer be magnetized or stick together.

Are two magnets together stronger than one?

Two magnets together will be slightly less than twice as strong as one magnet. When magnets are stuck entirely together (the south pole of one magnet is connected to the north pole of the other magnet) you can add the magnetic fields together.

What is permanent and temporary magnet?

The difference between a permanent magnet and a temporary magnet is in their atomic structures. Permanent magnets have their atoms aligned all the time. Temporary magnets have their atoms aligned only while under the influence of a strong external magnetic field.

What is temporary magnet with example?

Temporary magnets are those that simply act like permanent magnets when they are within a strong magnetic field. Unlike permanent magnets however, they loose their magnetism when the field disappears. Paperclips, iron nails and other similar items are examples of temporary magnets.

What are the uses of temporary magnet?

Uses of temporary magnets would be paper clips and nails and other soft iron items as examples used for temporary magnets. Temporary magnets are commonly used in electric motors and telephones and speakers. Temporary magnets are also used to make temporary electromagnets.

What is the difference between a temporary and a permanent magnet class 6?
