Question

There are many uses for permanent magnets and temporary magnets like an electromagnet. Electric appliances with electric motors use magnets to turn electricity into motion. Other examples include electric toothbrushes, fans, lawnmowers, and anything else containing a motor.

Magnets are used to hold doors closed, such as in refrigerators, kitchen cabinets and others. Magnets are also used to read and write data on a computer's hard drive or on old-fashioned cassette tapes. There are more magnets in headphones and stereo speakers which help to turn stored music back into the sounds you can hear.
In summary, magnetism is another property of some kinds of matter. There are two poles to a magnet, the south pole and the north pole. Like poles repel and unlike poles repel. There are two different kinds of magnets, temporary and permanent. A temporary magnet can be made by using electricity. All magnets contain an invisible electromagnetic field which surrounds the magnet. There are many uses for magnets, from holding doors closed to helping music sound better with the magnets inside of speakers.

Based on the information provided above how would you describe a magnet?

Answer 1

A magnet is a piece of metal with a strong attraction to another metal object. The attraction a magnet produces is called a "magnetic field."

This magnetic field is invisible but is responsible for the most notable property of a magnet: a force that pulls on other ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, steel, nickel, cobalt, and so on. and attracts or repels other magnets.

Most magnets are made of iron, and magnets are used in many common items like cassette tapes, credit cards, toys, and compasses. Magnets are used to make a tight seal on the doors to refrigerators and freezers.
