Ferromagnets
Only certain materials, such as iron, cobalt, nickel, and gadolinium, exhibit strong magnetic effects. Such materials are called
ferromagnetic, after the Latin word for iron, ferrum. A group of materials made from the alloys of the rare earth elements are
also used as strong and permanent magnets; a popular one is neodymium. Other materials exhibit weak magnetic effects, which
are detectable only with sensitive instruments. Not only do ferromagnetic materials respond strongly to magnets (the way iron is
attracted to magnets), they can also be magnetized themselves that is, they can be induced to be magnetic or made into
permanent magnets.
