u rayt so moreover by definition the term magnet isnt capable precise to answer this question
>---->
Why non-metallic object cannot be magnetized?
yes, but i think the question itself is answerable in an atomic terms and not just by the use of the term magnet.
There are :
ferromagnetic
paramagnetic
ferrimagnetic
and diamagnetic materials etc.,
or also electromagnetics., each are work differently.
oi additional magnet napud..hehehehhe... murag puno na kaayo akong utok dah... hehehehh....
pero stick to basics lang ko (paramagnet, ferromagnet, og diamagnet), kay mao mana akong gusto ang makabalo lang sa basics sa tanan butang (science, esoteric, religion, paranormal, etc). ^_^
daghan man pud factor maka affect sa magnetization sa usa ka diamagnetic material. like temperature, atomic and molecular interaction, and ilang phase of matter (gas, liquid, or solid). If they are in a gas or liquid at room temperature or above, then most likey dili kau sila ma appectahan sa external magnetic field tungod sa kinetic energy sa particle. hehe
speaking anang mga kinetic energy sa particle or ang ilang friction, unsaon or how heat works in atomic level? or how heat transfer works in atomic level? ky kasagaran sa net puro man heat energy, energy ang ilang ginasulti man gud.
like kung init ang object, unsay panghibao ana sa ilang atoms (either monotomic or ang mga bounded nga na atoms)?
nya sa bugnaw nga solid object pud, asa ang magslow ana? ang molecules or ang electrons sa atoms?
pls. enlighten me mga professors .... heheeheh
