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


When you touch a magnet to a steel nail the nail attracts steel paper clips. Explaine why this does not happen when you use an aluminum nail?

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.


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.


What is the difference between a strongly magnetized nail and a weakly magnetized nail?

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.

No it can't become a magnet.


Which type of nail iron or copper would stick to magnet?

The iron nail would stick to a magnet. Copper is not attracted to magnets.


Can you charge steel with a magnet and can the steel have a temporary magnetic field?

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.


Does an iron nail stick to a magnet?

Yes.


What happens when steel nails come in contact with magnet?

How do you separate steel nail from brass screws?

Use a magnet. Brass is non ferrous and will not be attracted to the magnet.


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 you have a a magnet stuck to the nail then a paper clip stuck to the nail then you take the magnet away and the nail in the paper clip are still together why did that happen?

this happens because the magnet has magnetised the nail


Why would a nail be attracted to a magnet?

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.


Is a nail attracted to a magnet?

Yes. Nails are usually made from iron or steel, which is attracted to magnets.
