A Variety of Magnetic Types

There are several types of magnets, namely:

       1. Natural magnet and artificial magnet.
           Natural magnets are materials that can be found in nature and already have                      magnetic properties. Examples: neodymium and samarium cobalt.

           Artificial magnets are some materials which are initially not magnetic, but due to              certain processs can become magnets. For example: magnets made out of iron and            out of steel.

+    2. Permanent magnet and temporary magnet.

           Permanent magnets are materials that have magnetic properties and their                        magnetic strength can endure for a long time. Examples are natural magnets and                magnets made of steel.

          Temporary magnets are materials that have magnetic properties, but their                       properties are only temporary. Examples are magnets made of iron.
