How do you create a magnet?

The easiest way to create a magnet would be to get a piece of iron or other ferro-magnetic material and expose to a strong magnetic field. The strength of the resulting magnet would be directly proportional to both the strength of the original field and the period of exposure. Note that the newly magnetic metal will get weaker and weaker over time. This effect can be observed with refrigerator magnets and paper clips: if you put one of the clips on the magnet, it will then be able to pick up other clips for a short period of time, even when off the magnet.

One way to create a magnet that doesn't get weaker with time is to make an electro-magnet: take a coil of wire and run an electric current through it. This set-up is called a solenoid, and the strength of the resulting field depends on the current and the number and density of loops in the coil. This field can also be strengthened by wrapping the coil around a bar of iron or other ferro-magnetic material.

What do you predict what is going to happen if I try to see if electricity can produce a magnet?

If you use DC, you will create a magnet, and quickly kill your battery. If you use AC, you will not create a magnet, and possibly trip a circuit breaker. In either case, you're likely to create a large, noisy spark before you're through.
