How to Magnetize and Demagnetize a Permanent Magnet Magnets are items with poles and a magnetic field. This is due to the configuration of its electrons. There are three metals that are naturally magnetic; iron, nickel, and cobalt. These metals allow the electrons to configure in such a way that magnetic fields are created around [...]
Can unmagnetized steel be magnetized? Yes, all that is necessary is to line up the free electrons in all the atoms in a sample of steel or iron in the same direction. One way of magnetizing steel is to wrap the electric wire around the steel multiple times and then run a current through the [...]
Magnetizing Machine In magnetizing the magnetic domains inside of a magnet are aligned with the magnetizing field. If the magnetizing field strength is high enough, all the domains will be aligned and the magnet is said to be magnetized to saturation. Magnetizing to saturation is usually recommended as only then are the magnetic properties of [...]
