YOGYAKARTA - Pernakah You think of the question of how to make a magnet? Magents are objects that have the ability to attract certain objects around them. These magnetically empowered objects are often found around us.

Magnetic objects can pull objects containing metals. These magnetic-powered objects are used for various needs, for example in electric bells, bicycle dynamos, decoration markers, navigation compasses, and many others.

The strength of the magnet that can pull this object does make you curious. It turns out that magnets can be made by yourself in several ways.

Before studying how to make a magnet, you should first know the types of magnets used in human life. There are two types of magnets, namely natural magnets and artificial magnets.

The following is an explanation of the types of natural magnets and artificial magnets that you need to know:

Natural magnets are objects that have magnetic power without human influence or occur naturally. Examples of natural magnets such as rocks that are able to pull objects made of iron because they have natural magnets.

Another example of a natural magnet is Mount Ida in Magnesia which can attract objects around it because it is proven to have magnetic power. This mountain has been known since ancient Greek times.

Artificial magnets are magnetically empowered objects made with human hands. This type of magnet is made with strong magnetic materials, such as steel and iron. There is an artificial magnetic category, namely a permanent magnet and a temporary magnet.

Interim-made magnets

A permanent artificial magnet is a magnet that still has magnetism properties even though the manufacturing process has been completed. An example is the magnet on the refrigerator door, which allows the refrigerator door to close tightly and can attach decorations.

Interim-made magnets

A transient artificial magnet is a magnet that only has transient magnetism properties. The nature of this magnetism only exists during the manufacturing process, so that the magnetic force will disappear when the external magnetic field is removed.

For example, a transient artificial magnet is a magnet that uses a source of electromagnetic force. When the source of its power is stopped, the magnetic force also disappears.

Magnetic manufacturing can be done with three methods, namely rubbed, induction and electromagnetic. Here are the steps to make a magnet that you can follow:

Here are the steps to make a magnet by rubbed method:

Here are the steps to make a magnet using the induction method:

Here are the steps to make a magnet from the electromagnet method:

Those are some ways to make a magnet that you need to know. You can make your own magnet in the three ways above. Also read what is the earth's magnetic field.
