What Are The Types of Magnets?

Types of Magnets

There are two major types of magnets: Permanent magnets and Temporary magnets

Permanent magnets retain their magnetism over a long period of time whereas temporary magnets retain their magnetic properties only under certain conditions like presence of a strong magnet or an electric current in the vicinity.

Magnets are available in different shapes as well. For example, bar magnets, horse-shoe magnets, magnetic needles, ring magnets or disc magnets.
