When you take a nail and a paperclip and they stick together on a magnet then take the magnet away the nail and paperclip still stick together what is that called?

However, if you bring a magnet near a piece of iron, such as a nail,and the paperclip. If the paperclip does not fall then the magnetic field has the iron nail. The result is a temporary magnet called an 'electromagnet'. The magnets either stick together or are suspended in midair

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.


When you touch a magnet to a steel nail the nail attracts steel paper clips. Explaine why this does not happen when you use an aluminum nail?

it wouldn't be magnet to a aluminum nail because the aluminum is not a way of magnet and a steel nail would because steel is a way of magnet.


If you have a a magnet stuck to the nail then a paper clip stuck to the nail then you take the magnet away and the nail in the paper clip are still together why did that happen?

this happens because the magnet has magnetised the nail


Why is a nail attracted to a magnet?

The nail is made of non-polarized iron. and doesn't repel either side of a magnet. A magnet has two poles and will repel another magnet with the same pole (north repels north, south repels south). Since the nail doesn't have a poles it doesn't repel either side.

no 1ds nail is a girl magnet


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.


How a steel nail can become a magnet?

No it can't become a magnet.


How can you magnetize a nail?

A nail can be magnetized by being hit with a magnet 50 or so times, alternately, if a nail or other piece of metal which is attracted to magnets (these metals are called ferromagnetic by scientists) is left near a strong magnet for a long period of time (a few days to a few years depending on how strong the magnet is) it will become magnetic.


How can a temporary magnet be made from a ferromagnetic material?

Yes, you will create a temporary magnet. EX: if you put and nail next to an iron magnet, the nail will be temporarly magnetic.
