There may of course be more ways but so far I am only aware of three methods. In the first method you can wrap an insulated copper wire with many turns around the nail and then connect a the two end points of the wire to each terminals of a battery. This will effectively result in a makeshift electromagnet. Certain kinds of other metals will be attracted to the nail in your electromagnets nail core when the battery is connected to the two ends of the wire.
The second way for you to do this is to hold the nail in you hand and hit one side of it (preferably the flat side) with something like maybe a hammer or even something else that is hard and durable. If you hit the nail enough times, the electrons in the nail will better align themselves and you will have a weak magnet. Though depending on the size of the nail, I would discourage doing this because you would arguably hurt yourself in the process.
The third way is to place an already existing magnet onto the nail and then remove it. Depending on the strength of the already existing magnet you can get the nail to become magnetized, though I think this typically wears pretty quickly. I suppose another way could maybe be leaving the existing magnet on the nail so that the nail remains magnetic.

What will be the magnetic domains of an iron nail heated up?
You need to strike the hot nail with a hammer to induce the magnetic field. This was a method that blacksmiths used to make weak iron magnets.
Is a nail a magnet?
No, a nail is not a magnet. But a nail can be made into a magnet.The nail can be wrapped with a coil of wire and will become the core of an electromagnet if a DC current is run through the coil. Additionally, if the nail is exposed to a magnetic field, this field will "impress" a magnetic field on the nail. This small field will remain when the source of the original field is removed. There is more.If a nail is heated above its Curie temperature and it is placed in a static magnetic field and is cooled in this field, the nail will remain permanently magnetized. The latter process is how magnetics are made, but nails are not used. Rather we'll see some special ferromagnetic alloys used to make the permanent magnets as these alloys will "hold" a magnetic field much better than the steel in a nail will.
If the south pole of a strong magnet brought an iron nail the domains in the nail will be oriented randomly?
No. There is some randomness, but it is dominated by a very strong tendency for the domains to be oriented towards the poles, along the lines of magnetic force.
Why does an iron nail has more force of attraction than a piece of chalk and rubber band?
Because they have different magnetic properties; iron is strongly ferromagnetic.
What would happen if you took wires and made a long strand then wrapped them around a metal nail then finally connect them to a battery?
You would succeed in making a simple electro-magnet that uses the copper wire as a conducter for the elctricity that comes from the battery,the nail on coming in contact with the wire which is wrapped around it harnesses the elecric power being provided by the battery via the copper wire and an magnetic field around the nail is created, hence the name electro-magnet!
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.

Is nail magnetic?
Yes, nails are magnetic.
Is aluminum nail magnetic?
no, aluminum is not magnetic
What country did magnetic nail polish originate in?
The country that magnetic nail polish originated in is China.
Can you use normal nail varnish and a magnet to create the magnetic nail effect?
No because with the magnetic nail polish, the polish has iron in it. With regular nail polish it doesn't. U can buy some magnetic kind, it's not that expensuvr(:

The procedure to make a magnetic bell?
You need wire, a nail, and some steel sheet cut from a can. Then you need a bell. Wind the wire round the nail to make an electromagnet. Nail the strip of steel to a wooden block. Fix the electromagnet so that it pulls the steel when switched on. Then you need to make a switch which will be another arrangement of thumbtacks. So when the magnet switches on the steel pulls away from the tack and breaks the circuit. The steel hits the bell but it returns dues tothe magnet being switched off.
What store can you get magnetic naill polish?
You can get magnetic nail polish at Hot Topic.
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.
