Why do magnet and electricity work together?
Magnetism is a form of Electric in its own Kinetic way. Metals a forced with electricity to create the magnetic field. For instance, find a fairly strong magnet, one that can say, pick up a set of keys, then rub this for about 3 to 5 minutes against a magnet, specifically on either the negative or positive side, whichever it is attracted to. Then after you've rubber it, your paperclip should have a magnetic field around it, try sticking this to another paperclip, it should be magnetic. Its because you have transferred the electronic energy from the magnet to the paperclip by using the magnetic field.
How many inches is a paperclip?
A paperclip ranges between 1-2 inches in length.
Does a paperclip weigh about 3 kilograms?
No, a paperclip weighs less than a gram (less than 3000 of 3 likograms)
What is a paperclip made of?
metal
What other things can be a conductor?
a paperclip
What is the name of the force that attracts a paperclip to a magnet?
magnetic force
Why does a nail not stick to a paperclip?
They are not attracted to each other because they are not magnetic.
How do you get a paperclip out of water without losing it?
If it is metallic, you could try a magnetic.
Can magnetic force pass through cardboard ramp?
does magnetic forces pass through cardboard? <><><><> Very easily. Lay a paperclip on a sheet of cardboard. Place a magnet beneath the cardboard. When you move the magnet, the paperclip will also move.

When you take a nail and a paperclip and they stick together on a magnet then take the magnet away the nail and paperclip still stick together what is that called?
However, if you bring a magnet near a piece of iron, such as a nail,and the paperclip. If the paperclip does not fall then the magnetic field has the iron nail. The result is a temporary magnet called an 'electromagnet'. The magnets either stick together or are suspended in midair
Of a ferromagnet an electromagnet a temporary magnet or a permanent magnet which is easy to create but loses its magnetism easily?
The temporary magnet becomes a magnet in a strong magnetic field, but its magnetic properties will disappear when that field is taken away. The ferromagnet and the permanent magnet are essentially the same thing. The electromagnet isn't that easy to make compared to the temporary magnet. Let's conduct an esperiment. If we take a bar magnet and pick up a paperclip with it, we can use the paperclip on the end of the magnet to pick up another paperclip. The second paperclip we are picking up only needs to touch the first paperclip; it does not have to touch the magnet itself. When the magnet is taken away, the paperclips no longer exhibit magnetic properties. They were acting as temporary magnets, and the simple and easy removal of the magnet cause them to lose their magnetism.
What sort of material do you need to detect a magnetic field?
metal iron paperclip anything that is magnetic
What does a magnet do to a paperclip?
A paperclip attracts a magnet ,a magnet attracts a paperclip.
Is a paperclip a rock or a mineral?
a paperclip is a mineral.
List 5 non magnetic objects at home?
wood plastic wall glass paper
Why does a paper clip stick to a nail when it's on a magnet?
The nail contains iron, which is ferromagnetic. Ferromagnets respond to a magnetic field (from a magnet) by generating their own magnetic field, ie, they become a magnet in the presence of a magnet. They also exhibit hysteresis, in that if they are exposed to a strong enough magnetic field, it will lock in and become a permanent magnet.
