  2. Lodestone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lodestone

    The Earth's magnetic field at 0.5 gauss is too weak to magnetize a lodestone by itself. [9] [10] The leading theory is that lodestones are magnetized by the strong magnetic fields surrounding lightning bolts. [9] [10] [11] This is supported by the observation that they are mostly found near the surface of the Earth, rather than buried at great ...

  3. Rare-earth magnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare-earth_magnet

    Ferrofluid on glass, with a rare-earth magnet underneath. A rare-earth magnet is a strong permanent magnet made from alloys of rare-earth elements.Developed in the 1970s and 1980s, rare-earth magnets are the strongest type of permanent magnets made, producing significantly stronger magnetic fields than other types such as ferrite or alnico magnets.

  4. Horseshoe magnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horseshoe_magnet

    The two magnetic poles are in close vicinity, which concentrates the field lines and creates a strong magnetic field. Magnetic fields of a horseshoe magnet visualized using iron filings. A horseshoe magnet is either a permanent magnet or an electromagnet made in the shape of a horseshoe (in other words, in a U-shape). The permanent kind has ...

  5. Magnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet

    A magnet's magnetic moment (also called magnetic dipole moment and usually denoted μ) is a vector that characterizes the magnet's overall magnetic properties. For a bar magnet, the direction of the magnetic moment points from the magnet's south pole to its north pole, [ 15 ] and the magnitude relates to how strong and how far apart these poles ...

  6. Alnico - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alnico

    Alnico alloys can be magnetised to produce strong magnetic fields and have a high coercivity (resistance to demagnetization), thus making strong permanent magnets. Of the more commonly available magnets, only rare-earth magnets such as neodymium and samarium-cobalt are stronger.

  7. Do magnets affect credit cards? - AOL

    www.aol.com/finance/magnets-affect-credit-cards...

    Avoid storing your credit card near magnets or other magnetic items. If your purse or wallet has a magnet on it, ensure the magnetic strip on your card faces away from the magnet to help avoid damage.
