One tool for determining the direction of the velocity vector of a moving charge, the magnetic field, and the force exerted is labeling the index finger "V" [ dubious – discuss], the middle finger "B", and the thumb "F" with your right hand. When making a gun-like configuration, with the middle finger crossing under the index finger, the fingers represent the velocity vector, magnetic field vector, and force vector, respectively. See also right-hand rule. Gauder, D. R.; Froning, M. H.; White, R. J.; Ray, A. E. (15 April 1988). "Elevated temperature study of Nd‐Fe‐B–based magnets with cobalt and dysprosium additions".

Electromagnet [ edit ] An electromagnet attracts paper clips when current is applied creating a magnetic field. The electromagnet loses them when current and magnetic field are removed.Cooperative (Article 56), Cooperative association (Article 55), Limited cooperative association (LCA). The Nd 2Fe 14B crystal structure can be described as alternating layers of iron atoms and a neodymium-boron compound. [2] The diamagnetic boron atoms do not contribute directly to the magnetism but improve cohesion by strong covalent bonding. [2] The relatively low rare earth content (12% by volume, 26.7% by mass) and the relative abundance of neodymium and iron compared with samarium and cobalt makes neodymium magnets lower in price than samarium–cobalt magnets. [2] Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines use magnetic fields to allow doctors to examine patients' internal organs. Doctors also use pulsed electromagnetic fields to treat broken bones that have not healed correctly. This method, approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration in the 1980s, can mend bones that have not responded to other treatment. Similar pulses of electromagnetic energy may help prevent bone and muscle loss in astronauts who are in microgravity environments for extended periods. The greater forces exerted by rare-earth magnets create hazards that may not occur with other types of magnet. Neodymium magnets larger than a few cubic centimeters are strong enough to cause injuries to body parts pinched between two magnets, or a magnet and a ferrous metal surface, even causing broken bones.

q {\displaystyle q} is the electric charge of the particle, and v is the velocity vector of the particle Paramagnetism: A paramagnetic material is weakly attracted to a magnetic field. Aluminum, oxygen, iron oxide (FeO), and titanium are paramagnetic. While heuristic explanations based on classical physics can be formulated, diamagnetism, paramagnetism and ferromagnetism can be fully explained only using quantum theory. [25] [26]

Alnico magnets are made primarily from (Al), (Ni) and (Co), hence al-ni-co. Alnico magnets are available in a variety of shapes and sizes and are very temperature stable. They produce a strong magnetic field and are commonly known for their popularity as red horseshoes or bar magnets. Hungerford, Laura. "Cow Magnets." Newton Ask a Scientist. July 16, 2003.

Similar minimum-energy considerations are involved in the second mechanism hindering domain rotation, namely magnetocrystalline anisotropy. It was first observed in 1847 that in crystals of magnetic material there appeared to exist preferred directions for the magnetization. This phenomenon has to do with the symmetry of the atomic arrangements in the crystal. For example, in iron, which has a cubic crystalline form, it is easier to magnetize the crystal along the directions of the edges of the cube than in any other direction. Thus the six cube-edge directions are easy directions of magnetization, and the magnetization of the crystal is termed anisotropic. Some organisms can detect magnetic fields, a phenomenon known as magnetoception. Some materials in living things are ferromagnetic, though it is unclear if the magnetic properties serve a special function or are merely a byproduct of containing iron. For instance, chitons, a type of marine mollusk, produce magnetite to harden their teeth, and even humans produce magnetite in bodily tissue. [24] Magnetobiology studies the effects of magnetic fields on living organisms; fields naturally produced by an organism are known as biomagnetism. Many biological organisms are mostly made of water, and because water is diamagnetic, extremely strong magnetic fields can repel these living things. Cunningham, Aimee. "Magnet Makeover." Science News. Jan. 30, 2007. (Sept. 5, 2022) https://www.sciencenews.org/article/magnet-makeover Since a bar magnet gets its ferromagnetism from electrons distributed evenly throughout the bar, when a bar magnet is cut in half, each of the resulting pieces is a smaller bar magnet. Even though a magnet is said to have a north pole and a south pole, these two poles cannot be separated from each other. A monopole—if such a thing exists—would be a new and fundamentally different kind of magnetic object. It would act as an isolated north pole, not attached to a south pole, or vice versa. Monopoles would carry "magnetic charge" analogous to electric charge. Despite systematic searches since 1931, as of 2010 [update], they have never been observed, and could very well not exist. [21] Samarium–cobalt magnet– Strong permanent magnet made from an alloy of a rare-earth element and cobaltIn this approach, the divergence of the magnetization ∇· M inside a magnet is treated as a distribution of magnetic monopoles. This is a mathematical convenience and does not imply that there are actually monopoles in the magnet. If the magnetic-pole distribution is known, then the pole model gives the magnetic field H. Outside the magnet, the field B is proportional to H, while inside the magnetization must be added to H. An extension of this method that allows for internal magnetic charges is used in theories of ferromagnetism. Fowler, Michael (1997). "Historical Beginnings of Theories of Electricity and Magnetism" .

The strength of the magnetic field it produces is at any given point proportional to the magnitude of its magnetic moment. In addition, when the magnet is put into an external magnetic field, produced by a different source, it is subject to a torque tending to orient the magnetic moment parallel to the field. [15] The amount of this torque is proportional both to the magnetic moment and the external field. A magnet may also be subject to a force driving it in one direction or another, according to the positions and orientations of the magnet and source. If the field is uniform in space, the magnet is subject to no net force, although it is subject to a torque. [16]
