A magnet attracts a piece of iron and the iron can then attract another piece of iron .What is the basis of this attraction?
When an iron piece is quite away from the magnet ,i.e, not present in magnetic field of the magnet then the iron piece is in neutral state ,i.e, there is no north & south pole . But , as soon as the iron piece interacts with magnetic field of magnet ,i.e, near to the magnet then the north pole of magnet make the nearer part or end of the iron piece south pole & simultaneously other part of iron becomes north pole . Similarly if south pole of the magnet interacts with iron piece then that end/part becomes north pole & other end becomes north pole . Now this iron piece has north & south pole .So iron piece is now converted into magnet which can attract other iron pieces in similar way as explained before .
Can a magnet attract to a demagnetized iron rod?
Yes. In this case, the magnet will induce magnetism in the iron, which is originally unmagnetized. Once the magnet is removed, the iron may return to an unmagnetized state; unless the magnetic field near the piece of iron is very strong.
Why magnet can attract the soil?
No magnet can attract soil unless the soil has a high percentage of magnetic material in it such as iron or nickel.
Why is an armature made of iron?
so the electro magnet can attract it as it will be magnetic
Does a magnet attrack to copper?
No, they won't. Copper, while it is a good conductor of electricity, is not a ferromagnetic material, and a magnet won't be magnetically attracted to it. (They will stick to anything if you use enough glue!)
How can you figure out if a piece of metal is iron or aluminum?
Hold a magnet against it. magnets attract iron.

Why does the magnet attract the iron?
the magnet attracts to iron by the magnetic field both the iron and the magnet have
How can you tell if a piece of iron is magnetized or neutral?
If the piece of metal is a magnet it will attract another piece of iron. You should be able to feel this attraction as the two become very close. It's magnetic field can be "seen"( that is the effect) by placing iron filings on a piece of glass and place the magnet beneath the glass. Otherwise it is not a magnet.
How would you distinguish between soft iron a piece of copper and a magnet?
The soft iron and magnet will attract each other - the copper will not be attracted to either of the other two.
Does a magnet attract iron?
Yes, a magnet will attract iron. This is because iron is a type of magnetic substance, and the magnet can penetrate it to increase the magnetic field and draw it near it.
Why does the magnet attract iron objects?
the magnet attracts to iron by the magnetic field both the iron and the magnet have

What happens when you put a magnet wrapped in cling film nearby iron and sulphur?
The magnet will attract the iron, but will not attract the sulphur.
What is a magnet really?
attract iron
Does iron sulfide attract to magnet?
no..
Can gold attract a magnet?
