Pls I have a question what is the difference between magnetic materials and a magnet

A magnetic material is any material that can be attracted by a magnet or can be magnetized itself. Examples include iron, nickel, and cobalt. These materials contain tiny regions called magnetic domains that can align when exposed to an external magnetic field.

A magnet, on the other hand, is an object that produces its own persistent magnetic field. It has distinct north and south poles and can attract magnetic materials. Magnets are made from magnetic materials that have been permanently magnetized, meaning their magnetic domains are aligned and stay aligned even without an external field.
