Question

The magnetism acquired by a magnetic material when it is kept near (or in contact with) a magnet, is called _______.

Answer 1

Magnetism:

1. Magnetism is caused by the magnetic fields around magnets.
2. An induced magnet becomes a magnet if it is placed in a magnetic field.
3. The induced magnetism is quickly lost when the magnet is removed from the magnetic field.
4. It happens in ferromagnetic materials, which are magnetically attracted and can be magnetized to create permanent magnets that generate magnetic fields.

Thus, the magnetism acquired by a magnetic material when it is kept near (or in contact with) a magnet, is called induced magnetism.
