Rapidly rub the iron with the steel magnet for approximately 2 minutes for every pound of iron. Repeat on all sides of the piece of iron. Repeat process as needed until demagnetized.

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.
Is a iron nail magnetic?
An iron nail will be attracted to magnets. But it itself will not attract other metals unless it has been magnetized through a certain procedure.
Diagram of iron nail being magnetized?
When a ferromagnetic substance is magnetized, the magnetic dipole moments of the atoms in the material line up in one direction and are able to produce a net magnetic field. This has to do with iron's elctron configuration on the atomic level.
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 to 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.
What happens if you bring two iron nails close to( 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.

What happens if you bring two iron nails close to or touching each other?
Like poles will repel.Unlike poles will attract.
Is a matchstick magnetic?
No, they are made of wood or paper, and are not magnetic. An iron nail is attracted to a magnet, and can become magnetized.
Which would likely demagnetized a magnetized iron nail?
Dropping it on a hard surface
Is a iron nail magnetic?
An iron nail will be attracted to magnets. But it itself will not attract other metals unless it has been magnetized through a certain procedure.
What kind of magnet is a magnetized nail?
what kind of magnet is a magnetized nail
What happens when you hammer a magnetised nail?
It makes all the domains of the magnet jumble up ( they all turn separate ways ) So the nail is no longer acting as a 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.
