What are induced magnets?

In: Science, Electronics Engineering, Physics [Edit categories]

Answer:

Magnetic fields can be generated by either a permanent magnet, or generating it by electrical flow such as through a coil.

If the magnet is then put near another material such as iron... the iron will then also start exhibiting an INDUCED magnetic field.

Induction motors operate on this principle with the armature being non-magnetic... and the motor operates by inducing a magnetic field into the armature.

Superconductors are unique that a magnet will induce an opposite magnetic field in them, and will be repulsed by the magnet.

Why is magnetism induced into an iron bar placed near a magnet?
A magnetic field induces an electric current. Hence, by placing the iron bar close to the magnet, a current is induced; and so we are, in effect, creating an electromagnet.
