Precautions to retain the magnetic property:
The bar magnets should always be kept in pairs separated by a piece of wood, keeping the unlike poles on the same side. Also, a pair of soft iron pieces should be placed across their ends.

The magnets should be kept away from the electronic gadgets like cassettes, mobiles, televisions, music systems, DVD's, compact disks (CDs), and the computers. When a magnet is placed near these electronic gadgets, it affects the magnetic property, and hence spoils the device as well as the magnet.
Uses of magnets:
1. Magnets are so strong that it is used to lift heavy loads. In a junkyard, a crane attached to a magnet is used to carry heavy metal loads. Magnets also help to separate magnetic materials from the junk.
