What Metals Have the Best Magnetic Properties for a Physics Project?

AI Thread Summary
For a physics project on electromagnetism, several metals are known for their strong magnetic properties. Common choices include iron, nickel, and cobalt, which are ferromagnetic and can be easily magnetized. Additionally, alloys like neodymium-iron-boron are highly effective for creating strong magnets. It's important to consider the availability and cost of these materials when selecting them for the project. Conducting experiments with these metals will provide valuable insights into their magnetic behaviors.

Hey guys,
I looked in the science projects sticky and got a good idea for my physics project due on Friday. He only gave us a week to do it, so it doesn't really have to be all that complex, you basically get an A just for doing one, and the better you present it, the higher the A will be. Anyway, since we are studying electricity right now, I decided to do my project over electromagnetism. One project that caught my eye was testing the magnetivity of different types of metals. The thing is, before I go buy a bunch of different materials, can someone tell me about 3-5 different metals that have good magnetic properties to use in my project? Thanks a lot.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
