What might happen to a metal pair of scissors if rubbed in one direction with the north pole of a magnet?

The metal part of the scissors would be magnetised to mimic the North pole of a magnet. It may not last long as handling the scissors will reduce the magnetism over time.

If a paper clip is rubbed in one direction against a strong magnet what does the magnet cause to occur in the paper clip?
Aligns the electrons in the same direction
Does most material have magnetic properties?
No, all materials do not have magnetic property. But if an iron is rubbed with a natural magnet,gets the properties of magnet.
Will a small magnet harm my mp3 player?
most definitely a magnet the size of a penny has broken my mp3 i got for xmas it wont turn on now. Actually I disagree, I got my hard drive magnet just now (much more powerful than a fridge magnet) and rubbed it all over my iRiver E100 and it still works. Did the same to my mobile, Nokia 5140i. --blueuser
What would happen if two plates rubbed back and forth against each other?
an earthquake happens
How do you make temporary magnets?
There are basically two ways to make temporary magnets. They arethe stroke method and the electrical method.The Stroke Method:Take a piece of metal like iron and stroke the magnet across it in a certaindirection I.e. in a straight line. Keep stroking the magnet across the iron piecein the same direction for a few more times. The piece will be slightly magnetized.The Electrical Method:Wrap an iron bar with a coil, a conducting wire of copper, and connect the ends of the wire to the terminals of a battery. Electricity will pass through the bar which will result in the formation of an electromagnet.

What would happen is you rubbed a needle back and forth on a magnet?
the needle will have a magnetising pull by steeling the magnetic energy from the magnet
What can happen when you rub a magnet on a paper clip?
A paper clip is made up of iron or steel. It consists of particles called domains which are randomly arranged. When a magnet is rubbed on a paper clip, the domains arrange themselves in one direction. Thus it gets magnetized and behaves as a magnet.
How does iron become magnetic?
Iron is a magnetic material, which means that it can be attracted by magnets. To make it become magnetic so as to attract other objects (i.e. to function as a magnet), the process of magnetic induction can be used. This can involve stroking the iron rod with a magnet several times (e.g. 20 times) in a fixed direction.
Why can droping a magnet can loose its magnetism?
When a mass(the magnet) falling with the potential energy of inertia strikes the ground, the Newtonian equal and opposite reaction occurs sending that potential energy backward through the mass(the magnet) as a kinetic shock wave that disrupts the... Ionic polarity? Subatomic spin? Oscillating relationships within the crystal lattice? Somebody help me here... An Iron bar rubbed in one direction with a magnet of any direction yields an Iron bar magnet of one direction. The direction you rub the magnet will be north and somehow all the atoms of the Iron lean that way. Here's the thing: The force of the shock wave is greater than the force of the magnetic alignment.
What will happen if you rubbed the surface of the newspaper?
if you rubbed it where there was ink, you would get a black mark.
Does most material have magnetic properties?
No, all materials do not have magnetic property. But if an iron is rubbed with a natural magnet,gets the properties of magnet.
Permanent and temporary magnets?
A temporary magnet is something that has been magnetized that won't stay a magnet for long, such as a paperclip that you have rubbed with a magnet. A Permanent magnet is usually a Lodestone that is found naturally or is manufactured by a company. Permanent magnets are always magnetic.
What will happen if a glass ruler is rubbed vigorously on a woolen cloth?
A plastic ruler is rubbed vigorously with a woolen cloth
If a bar of copper is brought near a magnet the copper bar will be what?
If a bar of copper is brought near a magnet and rubbed it will get magnetized and would behave like magnet. But this would be temporary and this property would wear after some days.
Give example of a temporary magnet?
when a magnet is hardly rubbed on a iron ,for some time it reacts as a magnet. An example of a temporary magnet is used in acar breakers yeard . A crane fitted with amagnet picks up a car and then the power to the magnet is cut and the car drops.
What would happen if you rubbed two identical objects together?
Nothing
