What are the Types of Magnets?

Magnets are of three types. These;

• Natural magnets
• Artificial magnets
• Electromagnets

1.Natural magnets

It was the first time in Anatolia within the borders of Manisa in Anatolia. The natural magnets found by the Greeks in 800 still continue to exist in Manisa today. Natural magnets are available as “magnet stones”. Another name for the magnet stone is magnetite. Magnetic fields are found spontaneously, not because they are used as artificial magnets that we use today, but because of their structure.

2.Artificial magnets

Artificial magnets are usually made of steel because they retain their magnetic properties better. Such magnets are used for motor, speaker, etc. They are produced in the desired form and power in the fields.

3.Electromagnets

Electromagnets have nothing to do with real magnets. Electromagnets do not have a continuous and uncontrolled magnetism. On the contrary, they are magnets that can be controlled as desired and produce gravity if desired.

 

 

Where does the name "Magnet" Come From?
The name of the magnet in Greek is "magnestos". This name comes from the region where an iron oxide type with the ability to pull iron was first discovered. And that region is Magnesia; that is, today's Manisa region.

 

How Magnet Poles Are Formed

In order for a substance to have a magnet property, it must first be a magnetic substance. Magnet attracts: iron, nickel and cobalt are called magnetic substances. The magnetism property stems from the insults of electrons in the structure of atoms. In an ordinary magnetic substance, small zones of millions of atomic groups, each acting like a magnet, are found irregularly. The substance does not have a magnet feature because the zones eliminate each other's magnetic effect.

When matter enters the gravitational field of a magnet, those small zones formed by atoms become organized and form an index. Thus, the magnetic material becomes magnetized. If the knee is broken, the substance loses its magnetism feature. The tip (N) of the magnets pointing north is called the power (S) pointing south. The part where the magnet's pulling force is the strongest is the end points. These ends of the magnet are called "poles". The opposite poles of magnets attract, while the same poles repel. No matter how small the magnet is divided into particles, it does not lose its poles.
