Basic Information About Earth Magnets

Earth has different kinds of mysteries that can and cannot be seen. Some of them are already revealed in our eyes, and some of them are yet to be discovered. Some of these mysteries are still unrevealed because no one has seen it or no one has studied it. An example of this mysterious things is called Earth Magnets. They have been discovered centuries ago and several scientists try to mix and combine earth metal elements to produce more of these.

Earth magnets are earth elements that can be found on land and in water which allows magnetism. Magnetism is the attraction between two special forces usually identified as the North and South poles. These magnets are started between 1970 and 1980, and have been marked as one of the strongest magnets in the planet. Earth magnets are said to be stronger than alnico and ferrite magnets, two other types of magnets. Added to it, earth magnets are abundant. Similar to any other elements, these are very abundant in earth and can be found on places where same elements can be found.


Examples of earth magnets are Neodymium and Samarium-Cobalt. They have magnetic properties which includes Curie temperature, remanence, and coercivity. The Curie temperature is the property when the temperature limit when the magnet loses its magnetism. And the remanence is the magnetic field measure of strength for the earth magnets. While coercivity is the resistance of the magnetic materials for being demagnetized by other factors.





These magnets can be seen everywhere since it has been found. We just do not notice it, but they are everywhere and used on the objects that we always use. Some of the functions of earth magnets are for Maglev trains, hard drives of personal computers and laptops, fishing reel brakes, headphones, flashlights which are self-powered, roller coasters, and electric guitar pickups. Earth magnets are formed and packed in different shapes to be used as tools for everyday use.

Although even if we often use them, bare in mind that they also have hazardous effects or risks to us. For instance, big earth metals that are used can cause injuries when parts of the body are accidentally pinched in between magnets. Another situation is when swallowed. In most cases, kids are the victims of this situation. Accidentally swallowing it may cause sickness and other diseases. This is why it is important to keep the children away from magnets, especially children below 3 years old.


Earth magnets are very useful and helpful in our industrialized world. This is also useful for our technology in the present day because it can help make our lives better and easier. But remember that we just have to be cautious when using this particular material.
