Will steel nails that are joined by a magnet remain joined if the magnet is removed?
In general, steel nails will not remain "joined" if a magnet touching them is removed. It is important to note that nails affected by a magnet retain a weak "impression" of the field and remain slightly magnetic. But the magnetic field "impressed" on the nails will be quite small and will not hold the nails together once the magnetic is removed.
Can magnets attract iron filings?
Yes A magnet would help you separate a mixture of iron nails and iron screws because the magnet when you wave it over the iron nails it will pick them up and then you just wipe them off the magnet with a paper towel and then your iron screws are separated Answer: NO!!!! The magnet would pick up nails and screws equally if they were both made of iron and were the same weight. A magnet would pick up something lighter more easily, but unless all of your nails were one weight and all of your nails were another weight, the magnet would not be able to separate them.

One way to separate iron nails and salt is by using a magnet. Since iron is magnetic, you can move a magnet over the mixture and the iron nails will be attracted to the magnet, allowing you to separate them from the salt. Another method is to dissolve the mixture in water, as salt dissolves readily, and then use filtration to separate the solid iron nails from the dissolved salt solution.
