High-performance magnets possess magnetism after being magnetized. During the subsequent operation processes, there may be many situations where it is necessary to separate the magnets. Since high-performance magnets have very strong magnetism, it is rather difficult to separate them. So, how can we separate high-performance magnets?
I. Principle of Magnetic Attraction
When discussing how to separate high-performance magnets, we first need to understand why magnets can attract each other. In fact, the principle is quite simple. There are countless closed and non-intersecting magnetic induction lines distributed around the magnet, which form a magnetic field. Magnets will exert a magnetic force on objects placed in the magnetic field. The main reason why magnets can attract each other is that the directions of the magnetic induction lines are different, resulting in an attractive force. The principle of "like poles repel and unlike poles attract" is the result of the different directions of the magnetic induction lines.
II. Methods for Separating High-Performance Magnets
1. When high-performance magnets are attracted to each other, a rough way can be used to pull them apart by force. As long as you have enough strength to separate them, but you should always be extremely careful when separating high-performance magnets. Because the magnets will attract each other automatically and may pinch your fingers.
2. Materials that can be adsorbed onto the magnets can play a role in blocking the magnetic field. Moreover, the thicker the material is, the better the magnetic shielding effect will be, thus achieving the purpose of separating high-performance magnets.
In daily life, magnets should be placed away from items that are easily magnetized, such as floppy disks, credit cards, computer monitors, watches, mobile phones, medical devices, etc. Magnets should also be kept away from pacemakers. For larger-sized magnets, plastic or cardboard spacers should be placed between each piece to ensure that the magnets can be easily separated. Magnets should be stored in a dry and constant-temperature environment as much as possible.
