How an iron nail can be made into a magnet using stroke method?
To magnetize an iron nail using the stroking method, you can stroke the nail with one end of a magnet in a consistent direction many times. This allows the domains in the iron to align in the same direction, creating a magnetic field in the nail. The nail will then act like a magnet with a north and south pole.
What is the chemical reaction called that is happening to the metal nail?
Most likely, the iron nail is oxidizing. The iron in the nail would then be reacting with the oxygen in the air to form rust.
What happens when a iron nail is put in mercury?
When an iron nail is placed in mercury, a reaction called amalgamation occurs. The iron atoms from the nail react with the mercury atoms, forming an alloy called an amalgam. The iron nail gets coated with a layer of amalgam, which can make the nail appear silver-like and can change its properties.
What best describes the type of magnetism generated by attaching a wire to a battery and wrapping the wire around an iron nail?
The setup you described creates an electromagnet. When a current flows through the wire, it generates a magnetic field around the iron nail, temporarily magnetizing it. The strength of the magnetic field can be controlled by adjusting the amount of current flowing through the wire.
What will be the magnetic domains of an iron nail heated up?
You need to strike the hot nail with a hammer to induce the magnetic field. This was a method that blacksmiths used to make weak iron magnets.
What is the difference between iron and iron nail?
Iron is a compound iron nail is a iron ore which means that the iron nail is a mixture of metals such as copper and zinc added to make the nail stronger.
Is a iron nail inorganic?
All organic compounds contain Carbon element. Iron nail contain some carbon but as a free element and such,so nail is called as made of metal and is inorganic.
Which object is the best conductor of electricity a wax crayon a plastic spoon a rubber eraser or an iron nail?
iron nail
What is the name of the force that holds an iron nail against an iron refrigerator door?
The force at play is called magnetic force. It is the attraction between the iron nail and the iron refrigerator door due to their magnetic properties.
What can you use for sacrificial protection of iron nails?
One common method for sacrificial protection of iron nails is to attach a more reactive metal, such as zinc or magnesium, to the iron nail. The more reactive metal will corrode in place of the iron nail, effectively protecting it. This process is known as galvanic protection or sacrificial anode protection.
What are good conductors for a magnet?
Mainly iron, such as aluminum foil, cobalt, any iron coin, iron part of a pencil, specific iron rock called lodestone, and dull nail (the dull nail is actually shiny). Pretty much anything iron.
Why does an iron nail rust?
Iron present in the nail oxidizes in oxygen to form the iron oxides
