I just found this out myself! According to MANY reliable sources, the screws are just height adjustable versions of the flat magnets on the other side. Both are magnets, though some people say the flat ones "have more mass". So, for example, Synyster Gates' Seymour Duncan SH-8 Invader pickups have hex-screws on both sides, so they're all magnets, and they're all adjustable.

Are all metals attracted to magnets?

No, not all metals are attracted to magnets. Only certain metals, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt, are attracted to magnets due to their magnetic properties. Other metals, like aluminum, copper, and gold, are not attracted to magnets.


What type of metals does a magnet repel?

Magnets do not repel metals. Magnets attract ferromagnetic materials such as iron, nickel, and cobalt.


What does it mean when two magnets attract?

When two magnets attract, it means that the opposite poles of the magnets are facing each other. This causes a magnetic force to pull the two magnets together. The attraction occurs due to the alignment of the magnetic fields surrounding the magnets.


What is the ifference between an electromagnet and a permanent magnet?

Electromagnets and permanent magnets both attract or repel other magnets and attract iron and other substances. An electromagnet is a magnet that is only active when it has a current passing through it; permanent magnets are always active.


Is there any readable level of friction between two magnets passing by each other?

If the magnets are touching, then yes there is, if they are at a distance then the only friction they would have is from the air between them.


Do magnets attract all objects?

No. Magnets can pull other magnets towards them, or push them away from them. If a magnet's north pole points towards another magnets north pole (or a south pole towards a south pole), they will repel, instead of pulling them towards them. On the other hand, if a magnet is brought near a piece of iron that is not already magnetic, it will induce magnetism in the iron, in such a way that the two magnets will attract one another. Yet on the other hand, magnets have hardly any influence on most substances.


How are magnets attracted to other magnets?

Magnets are attracted to each other due to their magnetic fields. Opposite poles (north and south) attract each other, while like poles (north and north, south and south) repel. This attraction is a result of the alignment and interaction of the magnetic domains within the magnets.


Magnets only stick to?

metals such as iron, nickel, and cobalt. Materials like wood, plastic, or glass do not attract magnets.


Are permanent magnets only attracted to other permanent magnets?

No, permanent magnets can also be attracted to ferromagnetic materials such as iron, cobalt, and nickel. This attraction is due to the alignment of magnetic domains within the materials, resulting in an attractive force between the permanent magnet and the ferromagnetic material.


Do magnets repel nonmagnetic materials?

Magnets attract magnetic materials such as iron. Magnets either attract or repel other magnets depending on the polarity. Magnets repel diamagnetic materials. Most diamagnetic materials (bismuth, diamond, graphite, silver) are only weakly repelled. Super conductors are strongly diamagnetic, and are more strongly repelled.


What is true for magnets but not for charges?

Magnets have north and south poles, whereas charges do not have distinct poles. Additionally, magnets can attract or repel each other based on their alignment, while charges can only attract each other. Finally, magnets can retain their magnetism even when not in contact with another magnet, whereas charges require contact to interact.


When Battery not charging and rectifier has been renewed.What is next?

Replacing the stator is the next part to replace. Other than that the only other part to replace is the rotor which is less likely to fail because it only has magnets no wires. It is possible for the rotor to go bad from screws coming loose that hold the stator on. Once you get to the stator in your repair you can easily tell if the rotor has any problems, it will be plainly visable
