How is an unmagnetized piece of iron different from the same piece of iron when it is magnetized?
An unmagnetized piece of iron has its atoms pointing in different directions, and opposing each other. When the iron is magnetized, the atoms are mostly pointing in the same direction, and the fields add together.
How do you separate magnetic and nonmagnetic particles?
A non-magnetized piece of iron would capture the magnetic particles.
Can iron be magnetised?
Iron is naturally magnetized.
Can silver be magnetized?
No. Only a hand-full of metals can be magnetized, for example iron, nickel and cobalt.
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.

Why does iron attract to magnet?
Magnet are objects which have an electromagnetic force. It attracts iron and other metals which have the property of being induced by a magnets effect and repels other magnets.

Can iron be magnetised?
Iron is naturally magnetized.
How does the process of electromagnetic induction work?
The process by which a substance, such as iron or steel, becomes magnetized by a magnetic field. The induced magnetism is produced by the force of the field radiating from the poles of a magnet.
What is a temporary magnet?
a temporary magnet is a piece of soft iron that is magnetized while in the presence of a magnetizing field but demagnetizes the moment the iron is taken away from the magnetizing force
How do magnets stick to iron shavings?
The iron shavings get temporarily magnetized, due to the influence of the magnet. Thus, you have two magnets attracting each other - the original magnet, and a piece of iron shaving.
Will iron stick to the south or north of a magnet?
It will stick to either pole, providede that the iron is not magnetized and that it is not above the Curie temperature (the temperature above which iron can no longer be magnetized, named after Marie and Pierre Curie).
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.
What were first magnets?
The first known magnets were naturally-occuring magnetic rocks called lodestones. Lodestone is composed of magnetite, an easily-magnetized solid mixture of Iron (II) oxide and Iron (III) oxide. Lodestone's magnetism is induced by the planetary magnetic field generated by the Earth's core. It was soon discovered that pieces of iron metal could be magnetized by stroking them with a lodestone.
Strongest element that can be magnetized?
iron
What is capable being magnetized?
iron
