To make a magnet you can do it three ways.
No1. Get a metal rod and wrap some Insulated copper wire around it. You can use some other wires but it might not work as well. Make sure the wire isn't too thick. Wrap the wire 50+ times. Connect the two ends of the wire to a battery. Don't connect it to a strong power source as it will get very hot very quickly. Now the iron rod now has become a weak permanent magnet. The more current you add to it the more stronger it will be and the longer you have the battery on the stronger it will be.. Also, don't drop it as it will lose it's magnetic properties.
No2. Get a magnet. The stronger the better. Rub the magnet up a piece of metal then when you get to the end take the magnet off the metal and take it back to the start making sure the magnet doesn't touch the metal. I don't really like this method as it takes a long time to get the metal to pick up anything decent.
No3. Get a magnet and let it stick to a piece of metal. The piece of metal will be weak but enough to make the needle on a compass move.
(Don't ruin a compass. Mine point south-west and it shouldn't do that...)

Why do magnets make a N and S pole when you break a magnet?
Because in a permanent magnet, there is always a magnetic field, if the permanent magnet is broken, and didn't have a S and a N, then magnetism would cease to exsist.
How can you see the invisible magnetic field?
You can make magnetic field lines with a magnet. You an use a permanent magnet, or an electromagnet.
What type of magnet can only attract materials when it is touching another magnet?
Metals not magnetic, but permeable will become magnets when near or touching a permanent magnet. You can stroke some metals in the same direction repeatedly on a magnet and make it a magnet.
Is not a permanent magnet?
An electromagnet is a magnet while an electric current is running through the coil. Turn off the current and it is no longer magnetised, and is, therefore, not a permanent magnet.
What is the difference between permanent pole and temporary pole?
a Temporary Magnet lose its magnetism quickly, a Permanent Magnet is hard and it keeps it magnetism
How do you make a magnet without a magnet?
You can rub a permanent magnet against something else that can be magnetized, like a paper clip.
Is the magnet in a compass a permanent magnet or electronic?
A. Compasses typically use a permanent magnet.
Is magnetite a magnet?
No, it's a permanent magnet. It consists of an iron oxide, and iron is a permanent magnet.
Is a needle in a compass a permanent magnet?
Yes, it is a permanent magnet.
Why do magnets make a N and S pole when you break a magnet?
Because in a permanent magnet, there is always a magnetic field, if the permanent magnet is broken, and didn't have a S and a N, then magnetism would cease to exsist.
Is magnetite a temporary magnet?
No, it's a permanent magnet. It consists of an iron oxide, and iron is a permanent magnet.
Can a permanent magnet solenoid be modified to work like a permanent magnet linear generator?
yes - need to run electricity through it to make it a linear magnetic generator.
What distinguishes a permanent magnet from a temporary magnet?
Permanent magnets do not lose their magnetic ability. Temporary magnets, however, gain magnetic properties when they are touched or moved by a permanent magnet. The properties of a temporary magnet dissipates over time after the permanent magnet is removed.
Is the magnet in a compass a permanent magnetic or an electromagnet?
PermanentThere is no source of current in a compass, therefore the magnet is a permanent magnet.
Is a Refrigerator magnet a Permanent magnet?
yes
An example of a permanent magnet?
An example of a permanent magnet would be the Earth. The Earth is one giant magnet with opposite poles.
How is a electromagnet diffrent then a permanent magnet?
By definition an electromagnet is only working when it has a supply of electricity, a Permanent Magnet is always a magnet
