Question

What is an artificial magnet?

Answer 1

1. Definition: Magnets which are made from iron in different shape and sizes for different uses are called artificial magnets.
2. It is a magnetized piece of iron, steel, cobalt, or nickel. These magnets are of different sizes and shapes.
3. They can readily be magnetized and demagnetized by turning the current on or off in the coil.
4. It is used in loudspeakers, telephones, radios, television, etc.

Therefore, artificial magnets are required because natural magnets have an odd and irregular shape and they are not magnetically very strong.
