Why only the magnetic bodies can be strongly magnetized while other bodies like wood, copper, glass e.t.c are hardly affected?
Some materials become magnetized when the electrons in their atoms align in the same direction, creating a magnetic field. This can happen naturally or through exposure to a strong magnetic field.
The magnetic properties of materials depend on their atomic structure. Materials with unpaired electrons, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt, are naturally magnetic. Other materials can be magnetized, but they do not have a permanent magnetic field.
At high temperatures, the movement of atoms and electrons disrupts the alignment of the magnetic fields, making the material less magnetic. At very low temperatures, some materials can become superconductors and exhibit strong magnetic properties.
Most materials can be magnetized to some extent, but some are more difficult to magnetize than others. Materials with strong, rigid atomic structures, such as steel, are easier to magnetize than materials with more flexible atomic structures, like aluminum.
Magnetism is used in a variety of everyday applications, including electric motors, generators, credit and debit cards, audio speakers, and MRI machines. It is also used in industrial processes such as separating metals and controlling the flow of materials in factories.
