is it posible to make a magnet rotate around a center point, with the use of other magnets?

You should know that you won't be able to get magnets to do "work". You can impart energy to the system (just like you could start a pail of water on a string swinging around your head) but it won't do it on its own. Magnets are not a source of energy.zelldot said:how could i make and object float and spin by them selves, using magnets, or even just float.
Magnets rotate due to the interaction between their magnetic field and the Earth's magnetic field. The Earth's magnetic field causes the magnet to align itself along the North-South direction, and when the magnet is placed on a pivot, it can rotate freely.
Gravity plays a crucial role in making a magnet rotate. The Earth's gravity pulls the magnet towards the ground, but the magnetic force from the Earth's magnetic field prevents the magnet from falling. This creates a balance, allowing the magnet to rotate around its pivot.
Not all magnets can rotate. Only magnets that have a strong enough magnetic field and are placed on a pivot can rotate. Also, the magnet must be able to interact with the Earth's magnetic field for rotation to occur.
To make a magnet rotate, you can use a strong neodymium magnet and place it on a pivot such as a needle or a nail. Alternatively, you can use an electromagnet and control the rotation by adjusting the current flowing through it.
Yes, it is possible to control the speed of a rotating magnet. By changing the strength of the magnetic field or the current flowing through the electromagnet, you can change the speed at which the magnet rotates. You can also add additional weights to the magnet to increase or decrease its rotational speed.
