t too thnk the inclusion of remanance in the discusson is likely not fruitfuil. I do think it important, however, to remember that... -
Charles Link replied to the thread Graduate Practical demo - Ferromagnetic attraction at interpole boundary.I do think if the nail is a permanent magnet, that the tip will be of one polarity and the head of the other polarity. That would make... -

Iron with a low carbon content, is a "soft" magnetic material. The steel used to make nails has high carbon content, which makes it a... -

The nail is just a typical steel (ferrous) nail from a shop. Being a soft magnetic material, there would be induced magnetism while... -
Charles Link replied to the thread Graduate Practical demo - Ferromagnetic attraction at interpole boundary.I presume you are referring to any permanent magnetism, if there is any, appears to be minimal, but why not check for it, like... -

Just because you have a reasonable sounding explanation does not make it correct. Confounding factors should be tested for and... -

I was experimenting with multipolar permanent magnets (concentric alternating-polarity) and a nail and noticed something that initially... -
Charles Link replied to the thread Graduate Practical demo - Ferromagnetic attraction at interpole boundary.From the response of the nail it is likely it is not permanently magnetized, if that is what you are referring to. It is responding how... -

That makes sense. Thanks for that. The image from OP there are three alternating poles, with the two ring magnets and one central disc... -
Charles Link replied to the thread Graduate Practical demo - Ferromagnetic attraction at interpole boundary.It is starting to make a little more sense, now that I have a clearer picture of it. I think the flat head is extensive enough that it... -

It looks like they are called "Spiral Shank Nails", and the grooves afford superior holding power for the nails: I don't think the... -

It could have been explained better, I agree. The magnets in the photo are static magnets and the interpole boundary is the neutral line... -
Charles Link replied to the thread Graduate Practical demo - Ferromagnetic attraction at interpole boundary.You've got a very odd looking nail. I thought the head of the nail was the magnet. That is the head of the nail as I know it. You... -
Charles Link replied to the thread Graduate Practical demo - Ferromagnetic attraction at interpole boundary.The pictures were unclear and the OP's explanations were lacking. I think that larger surface with 3 rings is the sensor, but I don't...
