They have been dubbed &#8220;magnetoelectric materials&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every material has its own unique set of attributes and magnetoelectric materials are no exception, stretching the boundary for what is possible for the possibilities in this new exciting field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"18-a-magnet-can-affect-the-flow-of-electricity-in-a-wire\">18. A magnet can affect the flow of electricity in a wire. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Magnets exert a force of attraction as well as a push and pull. This magnetic force impacts the flow of electricity in a wire, a phenomenon known as electromagnetic induction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This same principle then helps generate power or heat and also converts an electrical current from one voltage to another; processes which are typically seen in the likes of generators and transformers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its importance is far-reaching since it allows us to use lower-level currents over large distances with ease \u2013 an important factor in daily life applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"19-the-first-electric-generator-was-built-by-michael-faraday-in-1831\">19. The First electric generator was built by Michael Faraday in 1831.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The illustrious Michael Faraday was the inventor of the first electric generator in 1831.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While not a blazing-fast revolution, there was some speculation at the time that Faraday had changed the progress of science and technology by creating this groundbreaking new invention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His success came from having a scientific firm understanding of Halloran&#8217;s Principle of Electromagnetic Induction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This principle laid out the mathematical and natural laws which govern electricity generation\u2014laws that underpin modern electrical technology even after almost two centuries of advance, which is one of the fun facts about Magnetism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"20-the-earths-magnetic-field-changes-over-time-sometimes-even-flipping-the-north-pole-becomes-south-and-vice-versa\">20. The Earth&#8217;s magnetic field changes over time, sometimes even flipping, the north pole becomes south and vice versa.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image aligncenter uagb-block-0a73bca5 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-center\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.devraa.com\/amazingfactshome\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2023\/01\/imcukz72ous-edited-1024x576.jpg \" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 150px\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.devraa.com\/amazingfactshome\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2023\/01\/imcukz72ous-edited-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"two square blue LED lights\" class=\"uag-image-28853\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><figcaption class=\"uagb-image-caption\"><strong>Magnetic Pole Reversals: Earth&#8217;s <br>Shifting Magnetic Identity.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Our planet&#8217;s magnetic field is not a static force. While it generally remains constant over long periods of time, there are moments when it changes. At times, the Earth&#8217;s north and south poles switch places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that what was once south may eventually become north, and vice versa. Our magnetic field has shifted multiple times in the past, and although there aren&#8217;t human witnesses to the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Geologists base assumptions about these shifts based on their study of ancient sedimentary rocks containing fossils from years gone by. Such reversals take anywhere from 10,000-20,000 years to complete!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"21-the-most-powerful-magnets-in-the-world-are-superconducting-magnets\">21. The most powerful magnets in the world are superconducting magnets.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Superconducting magnets are the most powerful in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They can generate magnetic field orders of magnitudes stronger than what we might find at home with a refrigerator magnet &#8211; reaching up to 45 Tesla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, your average domestic fridge magnet churns out a manageable 0.01 Tesla!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"22-one-of-the-practical-applications-of-magnetism-is-its-use-in-credit-card-stripes-or-mrz-machine-readable-zone-on-passports-as-it-can-store-data-in-a-magnetic-form\">22. One of the practical applications of magnetism is its use in credit card stripes or MRZ(Machine Readable Zone) on passports as it can store data in a magnetic form.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Magnetism has some very practical applications today: one of these is its use in preventing credit card fraud. Encoded data is stored in a strip or band at the back of your credit cards, usually made out of magnets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also used to store digital information in Machine Readable Zones located on passports, allowing airport scanners the ability to quickly and accurately read someone&#8217;s information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With its range of applications, magnetism proves to be a helpful tool to protect our sensitive financial and personal data, which is one of fun facts about Magnetism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"23-the-use-of-magnetic-fields-to-treat-illnesses-is-known-as-magnetotherapy\">23. The Use of Magnetic Fields to treat illnesses is known as Magnetotherapy.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Magnetotherapy is a form of treatment that has been around for centuries. It harnesses the power of magnetic fields to tackle a variety of illnesses and disorders, from pain management to wound healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazingly, our own bodies are filled with powerful magnets \u2013 iron from hemoglobin in our red blood cells \u2013 and contain electric currents, which create a strong affinity between ourselves and the magnetic fields used in magnetotherapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that we can make direct use of this healing resource without any painful side effects. In fact, many patients who have undergone treatment report improved sleep quality and decreased stress levels after just one session of magnetotherapy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"24-a-magnet-can-be-demagnetized-by-heating-it-hitting-it-with-a-hammer-or-exposing-it-to-a-strong-magnetic-field\">24.

Most notably, heat can be used to facilitate the demagnetizing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mechanical shock, such as a whack from a hammer, also has an injurious effect on a magnet&#8217;s properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even without physical contact, significant exposure to another powerful magnet can influence the demagnetizing powers at play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"25-the-first-magnetic-tape-was-developed-in-germany-in-the-1930-s\">25. The First magnetic tape was developed in Germany in the 1930s.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the fun facts about Magnetism is that in the 1930s, Germany experienced a digital revolution with the development of magnetic tape. This revolutionary tool enabled sound to be recorded and played back for the first time ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As such, magnetic tape opened up new worlds in audio recording and playback that had never been seen before. It ushered in an age where digital versions of music and other sounds were easily stored and quickly accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Magnetic tape allowed music producers, Sound engineers, and spoken word recorders alike to leverage this new technology to capture sound waves with ease.
