TYPES OF MAGNETS.

MAGNETS.

Magnets are objects that generate a magnetic field, a force-field that either pulls or repels certain materials, such as nickel and iron.

Of course, not all magnets are composed of the same elements, and thus can be broken down into categories based on their composition and source of magnetism.

There are three main types of magnets:

1. Permanent magnets.
2. Temporary magnets.
3. Electromagnets.
