You get an electro-magnet. If the current only flows in one direction (Direct Current) then you get a magnet.
I magnetised a big steel penknife that I had at the age of 14. Using 240 volt AC (Alternating Current) mains current I wired it up with a small piece of fuse wire in the circuit. The theory was that the current would flow in one direction and then blow the fuse before it had a chance to flow back the other way. And the knife was magnetised.
It worked! But the fuse I used was stronger than the fuse in the fuse box, so I blew all the power in the house. My father was furious, and amazed that the instructions were there in a book he'd given me "100 things a Boy can Do before he dies".
(Actually just "100 Things a Boy can Do"!!)
