What is a scientist?
Steve says...
Poles attracting and repelling.
Ferromagnetic material is any material that can be magnetized or will be attracted to a magnet.
Magnets are made of FERROMAGNETIC material. The most common are Iron (Fe), Cobalt (Co), and Nickel (Ni), a.k.a. feconi.
To create a magnet, place any ferromagnetic material into an electromagnetic field. Turn the field on and SHAZAAM! You got a magnet.
