hold a piece of iron or magnesium up to it and if it attracts it is magnetic
The magnetic materials which can magnetise and de-magnetise easily are called "soft magnetic materials" example:-ferrites,iron-cobalt alloy. The magnetic materials which cannot magnetise and de-magnetise easily are called "hard magnetic materials" example:-aluminium(al),nickel-cobalt alloy.
magnetise
you really can't
Light bonuses of an object
Iron.
Heating should do it
See whether that object can attract nickel,steel,and metal.
You put a magnet in it poo face! dur
The easiest is to align the object with the earth's magnetic field and pound on it with a hammer, but this is slow. Another is to rub one pole of a magnet repeatedly in the same direction along it. The fastest is to place it inside an electromagnet solenoid and power the electromagnet from a DC power source.
The same way you prove anything else. You need to be clear on what you have and what you want. You can prove it directly, by contradiction, or by induction. If you have an object which is idempotent (x = xx), you will need to use whatever definitions and theorems which apply to that object, according to what set it belongs to.
an object moves
stroke it one vay repeatedly against a magnet
