What is the difference between a weakly magnetised nail and a strongly magnetised nail?

The strong magnetised nail will pick up more paper clips than the weak magnetised nail.That is because the strong magnetised nail is getting more strength and that means that the weak magnetised nail is getting less strength.in a steel nail there are these things called domains, in a weakly magnetised nail some of them will be pointing north, south, east and west, but however in a strongly magnetised nail all the domains will point to north.
