Wrap the iron with many turns of insulated copper wire. Then send a current through the wire. The iron core will become an electro-magnet while the electricity is running.
you dont make it. ull save time. you're welcome...
An electro-magnet can be switched on & off - a bar magnet is 'permanent' Think of a scrap-yard. If the magnet they use to pick up huge quantities of metal were permanent, they'd have to manually remove every piece. With an electro-magnet, they simply turn the power on to pick up a load, and off when they want to release it. You can make your own electro-magnet with a battery, some wire and a large nail.
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.
Get a piece of soft iron (a piece of mild steel will do), and wind some insulated copper wire around it. Check the resistance of the coil of wire to make sure you have a suitable power supply (use V=IR), and apply a current - job done.

An electro magnet!

an iron nail, a long peice of wire, a large battery or a transformer
Wrap copper wire around a nail, then attach the ends of the wire to a D battery with tape to make an electromagnet.
No it does not attract to magnets
Any time a magnet passes through a coil of copper wire (the electro magnet) it produces electricity. In all reallity, you don't really have an electro magnet in a generator. Since the Coil or(field) is making the electricity instead of using electricity, the electro magnet isn't really a magnet; but more like an "anti-magnet" :)
Battery/iron rod/copper wire.

no you just need something metal like an iron nail and wrap a coil of un-insulated wire around it and send a current through the wire.
which end of a magnet will pick up an iron nail?
