What makes a magnet strong?

Question

Witout electricity what is it that makes a magnet stronger?

Answer 1

A magnet consists of molecular magnets.

If these magnets are arranged uniformly then the magnet will be stronger.

In an ordinary piece of iron there are molecular magnets, but since they are irregularly arranged there is no net magnetic field created.

Answer 2

A magnetic material can be viewed as a substance consisting of loads of tiny molecules having a magnetic field. So, the orientation of the various molecular magnets is the deciding factors. If they are oriented in an irregular manner their fields will nullify each other but if they are oriented towards the same direction the fields get added up and the magnet has a stronger field.

Other factors like temperature are able to affect the strength of a magnet because they affect this orientation. At higher temperatures, the molecules gain energy and move about in a haphazard manner losing their orientation and destroying each others' fields.

Answer 3

The answer to this question really isn't a simple one.

A lot of factors need to be taken into account.

Type of matierial

Temperature

Atomic Structure of magnetic matierial

Chrystaline and structure.

All these things combine to make really strong permanent magnets.

The link explains it very well but it is long winded and you need to know a little about quantum physics.

Answer 4

natural magnetic materials are nothing to elcromagnitic material, so the more current through the stronger magnet gets

Answer 5

a magnet's strength can be measured by the strength of its magnetic field.ofcourse u guys know what magnetic field means.

Answer 6

Electro-magnetic field.

Answer 7

magnetism
