A magnet is a material or object that produces a magnetic field, which attracts ferromagnetic materials like iron, steel, nickel, and cobalt. Commonly used in electronics, robotics, and mechanical applications, general-purpose magnets come in various shapes (disc, ring, block) and materials (neodymium, ferrite, alnico). Their strength and size determine their suitability for different tasks, from sensors to holding mechanisms.
