Question:

Will cobalt absorb a magnetic field better than steel or iron?? Please help!!?

Will cobalt absorb a magnetic field better than steel or iron because it is a denser ferromagnetic material? Please Help! Thanks in advance!

Answer:

lLike Iron, it depends on the form that the cobalt is in. If you look at the standard standards used in magnetic susceptability, you will see a cobalt compound which has a low sussceptability. (sp?). You will also see lots of alloys the contain cobalt that are excellent magnets.
