What is the principle of magnetite
In fact, the magnet in people's mouths is not a stone itself, nor is it pure iron. In ancient times, the natural magnets used by people to manufacture compasses were mostly composed of iron oxide, iron oxide, and many other impurities. In fact, besides iron, magnetite can also attract metals such as nickel and cobalt, but these two metals are too rare in daily life. For a long time, people only knew that it can absorb iron, so they directly named it magnetite and continue to use it today.At that time, people were not sure why magnets generated magnetic force, and even regarded magnetic force as a divine force. With the development of science, especially the discovery of the law of electromagnetic induction, people finally discovered the mystery of magnetic force generated by magnets.According to Ampere's law, a magnetic field is generated near the current, and the strength of the magnetic field changes with the current. The greater the current, the stronger the magnetic field.
