why are some substances magnetic?Posted by: woodchurchscience in 8j, ks3, ks4, physics, warren, y7a question from rowan sullivan in year 7. explaining magnetism is not easy but I’ll have a go. in unit 8j you will learn that electricity can produce a magnetic field. substances like iron oxide (magnetite) are members of a group of compounds that have the standard formula A(B)2O4. the A and B represent different metal ions that occupy specific sites in the crystal structure. in the case of magnetite, Fe3O4, the A metal is Fe +2 and the B metal is Fe +3; that’s two different metal ions in two specific sites. this arrangement causes a transfer of electrons between the different irons (ions!) in the structure. this movement of electrons generates the magnetic field. when cows are munching on grass they occasionally pick up bits of metal from fencing, staples, nails, bits of bailing wire etc. so to stop any damage to their digestive system (so-called ‘hardware disease’) some kind farmers make their cows eat cow magnets which sit in their stomachs (the reticulum specifically) for the entire life of the cow attracting any old bits of metal. they are available to buy here.
