Gauge your mental flexibility here!!!?

It is because of the molecular structure of iron. The molecules move in random motion in the iron. And when a magnet is brought near it, molecules arrange them in a fixed direction and this give rise to the magnetic field around the iron.

Magnet is mainly an iron compound in which the molecules are perfecticall y arranged. As a result, it has a permanent magnetic field around it. Hope it helps you angel.

Magnets have an effect on everything. In Florida a superstrong magnetic field floated a live frog.

It's just that the structure of iron on the atomic scale is more effected than other substances.

Electrons spin. Spinning electrical charges cause a magnetic field. If all the electrons are aligned randomly, the magnetic fields of each electron cancel out on average. But if all the electrons algn the same way, a strong magnetic field results.

When you bring a magnet close to iron, a property of iron allows the spinning electrons in the iron to easily align with the magnetic field. Other substances do not allow this alignment as easily.

Magnetism...

A magnet is repelled by another magnet, you funny little joker. Have a star for the effort.

a magnet attracts anything that it can it depends on the magnetability of the source.

ANOTHER MAGNET will be attracted if the pole is opposite otherwize it will repell

Ferromagnetism?

What if more than one people answer it correctly?

Bacause it is a magnet.

And thats what magnets do.Don't they?

I though it was iron, cobalt, and nickel or something like that.

ah, nevermind it's been too long :]

ohhhh, is this a riddle?? :}

because of those dang betamolecules!!

ARGGHH!!!
