Electromagnetism is commonly used to magnetize ferromagnetic materials. This method involves the use of an electrical current. When an electric current flows through a coil of wire wrapped around a ferromagnetic object, it will generate a magnetic field. This magnetic field temporarily aligns the atomi...
Magnetism occurs when negative and positive particles in an object line up in a specific manner, causing an attraction or repulsion with nearby particles. As long as a metal has some iron in it, you can magnetize it using another magnetic metal or an electromagnet. While you need a strong ...
