If it's made of a ferromagnetic material, sure. Otherwise, no, but a wire carrying a current will have a magnetic field. This is the whole concept behind electromagnets.

How are electromagnets formed?
A magnet consisting essentially of a coil of insulated wire wrapped around a soft iron core that is magnetized only when current flows through the wire.
Can silver be magnetized?
No. Only a hand-full of metals can be magnetized, for example iron, nickel and cobalt.
Is a pencil magnetic or nonmagnetic?
Yes a pencil could be magnetized. But it could only be magnetized with pencils only not a magnet.
How are magnetic domains arranged differently in a magnetized material and in a material that is not magnetized?
The magnetic domains of an unmagnetized material will be pointing in random directions, which is why it is appearing to me unmagnetized. In a magnetized material, they move from north to south.
What happens if you bring two iron nails close or touching each other?
Unless one or both iron nails are magnetized, then nothing will happen. If one nail is magnetized, then the other nail will be attracted to the magnetized nail.
Do bar magnets use conductive wire and electricity to create a magnetic field?
Bar magnets are already magnetized. They don't need to add wire and electricity.
How are electromagnets formed?
A magnet consisting essentially of a coil of insulated wire wrapped around a soft iron core that is magnetized only when current flows through the wire.
If a nail is made of steel will it be magnetized why?
Yes, if a nail is made of steel, it will will not be magnetized unless it is magnetized by a magnet by being hit.
If your are given three iron rods how would you know which one is not magnetized?
The not magnetized rod will be attracted by both of the magnetized rods.
Which type of magnet can easily be magnetized and demagnetized?
An electronic magnet is by far the easiest because you magnetize one by hitting a button (or for home made magnets) connecting a wire, and demagnetizing by hitting the button again or disconnecting the wire.
What kind of magnet is a magnetized nail?

How are domains arranged in materials that are not magnetized and in ones that are not?
Domains in magnetized materials are all aligned in one direction - those in un-magnetized objects are arranged randomly.
How are The magnetic domains in non-magnetized materials different from the magnetic domains in magnetized materials?
In non magnetized material the domains are not ordered -they do not align with one another.
How are domain arranged in materials that are magnetized and in ones that are not?
Domains in magnetized materials are all aligned in one direction - those in un-magnetized objects are arranged randomly.
What is a device that has a magnetized needle that can spin freely?
A compass has a magnetized needle that can spin freely.

Can ice be magnetized?
