What type of magnet do you use with paper clip?

You can use a regular, household magnet with a paper clip as paper clips are usually made of steel or iron, which are magnetic materials.


What can happen when you rub a magnet on a paper clip?

A paper clip is made up of iron or steel. It consists of particles called domains which are randomly arranged. When a magnet is rubbed on a paper clip, the domains arrange themselves in one direction. Thus it gets magnetized and behaves as a magnet.


What would not attach to a magnet a steel paper clip aauminum pot?

aluminum pot


Will a magnet attract steel paper clip?

Yes, this is true because in magnet, there are many small domains which all point the same way... this makes a magnet wot it is. the reason that a papa clip will attract to a magnet is because of all the domains (tiny magnets) inside swerve around when they feel the pulse of the magnets field.. by hazap ........... .......... brap brap!


What kind of magnet is a magnet made from a steel paper clip?

If it has been magnetized by another magnet, then it is just a temporary magnet, but if it uses an electric current, then it is an electro-magnet.


How come you can lift a paper clip with a magnet without touching it?

magnet attracts iron. paper clip made of iron magnet atrracts paper clip...


Can a magnet pick up a paper clip in water?

Certainly, as long as the paper clips are made of iron or steel. Most paper clips are made of polished or zinc-plated steel. Magnetism is a field that is not affected by water or any intervening matter unless that matter is also magnetic, or ferromagnetic.


What will happen to the paper clip when a sheet is placed between the bar magnet and the paper clip?

Magnetic filed of the bar magnet will penetrate a paper. Hence the clip will be attracted and stick to the magnet pressing the paper too to the magnet.


What does a magnent do to a paper clip?

Can Magnet attract a steel paper clip through air and water but not glass?

That statement is not true. Yes a magnet will attract a steel paper clip through air or water. No, a magnetic field will penetrate glass as well... probably. Certain types of glass (which are themselves ferromagnetic) might serve to block a magnetic field.


What happens to the structure of a paper clip when a magnet touches it?

When a magnet touches a paper clip, the magnetic field can align the domains within the steel of the paper clip, temporarily magnetizing it. This alignment causes the paper clip to become magnetized itself, allowing it to attract other magnetic materials. Once the magnet is removed, the paper clip may retain some magnetization, depending on the material and the strength of the magnetic field. However, most paper clips will lose their magnetization over time if not kept in the presence of a magnetic field.


What force operates when you use a bar magnet to pick up a paper clip?

The force that operates when using a bar magnet to pick up a paper clip is magnetic force. The magnet attracts the paper clip due to the magnetic field surrounding the magnet, pulling the paper clip towards it.
