Q1044

Which of the following alloy is used in making magnet ?

A.
Duralumin
B.
Stainless steel
C.
Alnico
Answer
D.
Magnalium

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
A magnetic alloy is a combination of various metals from the periodic table that contains at least one of the three main magnetic elements: iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), and cobalt (Co). Such an alloy must contain but is not limited to one or more of these metals. Magnetic alloys have become common, especially in the form of steel (iron and carbon) alnico (iron, nickel, cobalt, and aluminum,) and permalloy (iron and nickel.) The strongest magnetic element is iron, which allows items made out of these alloys to attract to magnets.
