MAGNET : A magnet is a material which has its atoms arranged in such a way that it exhibits attractive and directive characters. Properties of Magnet : 1.) A magnet has attractive property . It can attract ferromagnetic materials like iron, nickel, cobalt and their alloys. The strength of attraction follows the inverse square law. Ferromagnetic materials : The substances like iron, below a certain temperature (curie point) can possess magnetization (magnetic property) in the absence of an external magnetic field. These substances are called ferromagnetic materials. 2.) A magnet's strength is concentrated in two poles i.e. North pole and South Pole . NOTE: Even if we break/cut a magnet, the broken pieces will also have both the poles. A magnet having only a single pole ...
