Is the magnetic field the area around the magnet where the force acts?
Magnetic domains are microscopic areas of a solid where the atoms all have their magnetic moments aligned. If these domains are randomly aligned then a ferromagnetic material like iron or nickel will not have any permanent magnetism. If these domains start to align with each other the bulk material will show permanent magnetism. The area around a magnet where the force acts is the magnetic field.
What is the list for the characteristics of a magnetic field produced by a current?
A magnetic field is a change in energy within a volume of space. A magnetograph can be created by placing a piece of paper over a magnet and sprinkling the paper with iron filings. The particles align themselves with the lines of magnetic force produced by the magnet. The magnetic lines of force show where the magnetic field exits the material at one pole and reenters the material at another pole along the length of the magnet. It should be noted that the magnetic lines of force exist in three dimensions but are only seen in two dimensions in the image.
How can you show that iron pieces are attracted by a magnet?
we can show it by experimenting. for eg. iron (which prevents self demagnetisation) also attracts magnets
What is a natural force that few minerals show?
Atom
What do you call the little things that show up the magnetic field?
Lines of force.Lines of force.Lines of force.Lines of force.
How cant he magnet show the presence of a magnetic force?
by simple moving of its needle,or by change the direction of needle.

What happens when you place iron fillings around a magnet?
The fillings align themselves according to the magnetic field created by the magnet. *See the related links to images of the fillings behaving this way, along with a drawing representing the magnetic fields to which the filings align. You can see how the fillings behave similarly in each of the different photos. (see also related question below)
How can the behavior of two magnets show the presence of a magnet force?
The behavior of two magnets can show the presence of a magenetic for as follows:Unlike poles will attractLike poles will repel

A dumbbell shaped magnet is called which type of magnet?
How can you determine the poles of an odd magnet?
You place the magnet under a piece of paper, and then sprinkle some iron filings on the paper. The iron filings will line up along the magnetic lines of force, which will show very clearly where the magnetic poles are.
What is a plotting compass?
A plotting compass is a small magnet which is suspended and is free to rotate. When it is near a magnet, the compass will always point in a particular direction (the north pole's direction) becasue of the force of the magnetic field.

How can the behavior of two magnets show the presence of a magnetic force?
suspend the magnets from strings in such a way that they only repel each other. (Between two glass plates maybe, so they can't rotate.) measure the angle of the strings. Knowing the weight of each magnet, the acceleration of gravity, and the cosine of the angle between the strings this should give you enough to calculate the magnitude of the force between the magnets. (Providing you know vector addition of course.)
What website will show me how to create a magnet?
There are several sites that one can use to make a magnet. Websites that allow the design of cards will also show one how to make a magnet. Zazzle, Shutterfly and Vistaprint are some of these sites.
Why are the poles of a bar magnet not situated at the extreme ends of the magnet?
The poles are situated at the ends of the bar magnet. The magnetic lines of force run through the magnet, emerge from one end, fold back around the length of the bar of the magnet, and curl back into the other end. The ends are the magnetic poles, and the magnetic lines of force emerge from one and re-enter the magnet at the other. You can see these lines by laying flat a piece of smooth paper over the magnet and sprinkling iron filings over the paper. Because they are light they will be easily moved into alignment by the magnetic field and will visually show the fields arrangement. (Using a piece of paper makes it easy to tidy up. Without it, the filings will stick to the magnet and be difficult to remove.)
