ʻO nā magnet paʻa nā mea i hana ʻia mai kahi mea i hoʻopaneʻe ʻia, e hana ana i kāna māla hoʻomau mau.Aia kekahi mau ʻano o nā mea hoʻonaninani mau ʻoihana e like me Ceramic, Alnico, Samarium Cobalt, Neodymium Iron Boron, injection molded, a me nā magnet flexible.Hiki i kēia mau magnet ke anisotropic a me isotropic.Hoʻonohonoho ʻia nā māka Anisotropic i ka ʻaoʻao hana a pono e magnetized i ke kuhikuhi o ka orientation.ʻAʻole kuhikuhi ʻia nā māka isotropic a hiki ke hoʻopaneʻe ʻia i kēlā me kēia ʻaoʻao.
