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
it wouldn't be magnet to a aluminum nail because the aluminum is not a way of magnet and a steel nail would because steel is a way of magnet.
Yes, if a nail is made of steel, it will will not be magnetized unless it is magnetized by a magnet by being hit.
In an un-magnetised nail there are tiny domains, each in themselves would be a little magnet, however, in a magnetized steel nail the magnetic "domains" tend to be lined up in the same direction. A domain is a tiny magnet because electrons are spinning with the same orientation. Refer to the related link in the Related Links section below for more details.
It could stick to nails,nickles and brakes.

No it can't become a magnet.
The iron nail would stick to a magnet. Copper is not attracted to magnets.
If we take a steel nail and tap it with a magnet in the same way a bunch of times, the magnet will align some of the magnetic domains in the nail. The nail will then have become a permanent magnet. The magnetic strength of the nail will not be great like the magnet that created it, but it will be present and will be permanent. The nail could then be used to pick up iron filings just as the magnet could be used to do that.
Yes.
the nail goes to the magnet
Use a magnet. Brass is non ferrous and will not be attracted to the magnet.
Yes, if a nail is made of steel, it will will not be magnetized unless it is magnetized by a magnet by being hit.
this happens because the magnet has magnetised the nail
if a nail has any iron in it, it will be attacted to a magnet. Most nails are made of steel, a substance created from iron.
Yes. Nails are usually made from iron or steel, which is attracted to magnets.
