What type of magnet produces its own magnetic field
A permanent magnet
What is an induced magnet
A material that becomes a magnet when it is placed within a magnetic field
What type of magnetism always causes a force of attraction
Induced magnetism
What happens when an induced magnet is removed from the magnetic field of
The induced magnet loses most/all of its magnetism quickly
What is the difference between induced and permanent magnets
A permanent magnet produces its own magnetic field. An induced magnet is a material that becomes a magnet when it is placed in a magnetic field
