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.
What is the nail in an electromagnet?
The nail in an electromagnet is the core of the electromagnet. It is there to provide the magnetic lines of force a "highway" to get from one end of the coil to the other end through the middle of the coil. The magnetic lines of force "like" the nail because it is a ferromagnetic material. They can travel through it very easily - and they do! The nail also provides the "working end" of the electromagnet. The magnetic field lines emerge from the nail, and then act on what is there. If you are, say, doing a separation experiment removing steel tacks that are mixed in with small brass nails (brads), the tacks will stick to the end of the nail at the "working surface" or the pole of the electromagnet.
What happens when you rub a nail with a magnet?
Rubbing a nail with a magnet will align some of the magnetic domains in the nail. This will have the effect of making the nail into a magnet. The nail won't be a strong magnet, but it will come away with some residual magnetism. Suggestion: try a simple experiment with a nail and a magnet and some small paper clips to see if this works.
Why does a paper clip stick to a nail when it's on a magnet?
The nail contains iron, which is ferromagnetic. Ferromagnets respond to a magnetic field (from a magnet) by generating their own magnetic field, ie, they become a magnet in the presence of a magnet. They also exhibit hysteresis, in that if they are exposed to a strong enough magnetic field, it will lock in and become a permanent magnet.
When a magnet touch an iron nail does the nail becomes a temporary magnet?
The magnetic field would propagate through the material and extend itself for the length of the magnetic material in contact. As long as there is contact there is no pole present. When contact is broken the pole would be the opposite to the pole it was in contact with
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(:
What are the signs when cut by a rusty nail?
Unless you see the object that caused the injury, a person would not know if it was a nail, rusty nail, or some other object. That is why tetanus shots are given.
Is an iron nail magnetic?
yes
What store can you get magnetic naill polish?
You can get magnetic nail polish at Hot Topic.
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.
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.
Can you charge steel with a magnet and can the steel have a temporary magnetic field?
If we take a steel nail and tap it with a magnet in the same way a bunch of times, the magnet will align some of the magnetic domains in the nail. The nail will then have become a permanent magnet. The magnetic strength of the nail will not be great like the magnet that created it, but it will be present and will be permanent. The nail could then be used to pick up iron filings just as the magnet could be used to do that.
What is a chemical property of a nail?
nothing
