Why does iron become magnetised?
The magnet, in this case, will induce magnetism in the iron. The iron has lots of tiny areas that are magnetic, but normally point in random directions; placing a magnet nearby will allign those, and thus induce the magnetism.
Why four magnetic materials are strongly attracted to the magnet?
Four common magnetic materials that are strongly attracted to a magnet are iron, nickel, cobalt, and certain alloys of these metals. This is because these materials have unpaired electrons in their atomic or molecular structure, which creates a magnetic moment. When a magnet is nearby, the magnetic field of the magnet aligns the magnetic moments of these materials, causing them to be strongly attracted to the magnet.
What happens when you put a magnet wrapped in cling film nearby iron and sulphur?
The magnet will attract the iron, but will not attract the sulphur.
How did Oersted discover the relationship between an electricity and magnetism?
He used an electric current to affect the needle of a compass.
How does a plotting compass work?
A plotting compass contains a small magnet on a needle that moves with almost no friction. Assuming there isn't another magnet nearby to interfere with the magnetic waves, the magnet in the compass will always point north, in the direction of the Magnetic North, which is very close to the North Pole.

What will magnets do?
React to the nearby presence of another magnet
Why a steel ball bearings is attracted to a magnet?
Iron is attracted to a magnet because of the structure. It has unpaired electrons with the same spin, Thus allowing the magnetic moment to cause the nearby atoms to align on the same north south lines. Steel is an alloy of Iron with carbon, chromium, cobalt, manganese, nickel, tungsten, zirconium and/or many other elements depending on its use or effect desired from the alloy. Iron is strongly attracted to a magnetic field, However, stainless steel with high nickel, manganese, or other stabilizing elements added to the alloy changes crystal structure from ferrite to austenite and will become nearly non-magnetic. Extreme temperature will also play a big part in its magnetism.
How can you test if a material is magnetic?
Using a compass; You move the compass around the object and if the hand in the compass goes mad, then it is a magnet To test how something is magnetic: See if it sticks to a magnet. It will only be magnetic if it is made from nickle, iron or cobalt. Steel is also magnetic because it is made mostly from iron. Hope this helps x

The magnet will attract the iron, but will not attract the sulphur.
How do you make electricity using only a magnet?
A moving magnet will cause an electric field - a voltage. This can cause currents in nearby conductors.
How can a compass be used to check the strength of an electromagnet?
see if a magnet will stick to it someone who knows stuff about magnets please improve this answer. I myself do not know because a magnet will not stick to a very weak magnet but it is still magnetic. EDIT why would you answer if you don't know the answer? You stroke a bar magnet on the material and after a while it either becomes magnetic or not. unless its already magnetic which you would know straight away because it would stick to the bar magnet. sorry if any of my answer doesnt make much sense ... hope i helped someone
What causes a compass to behave as it does?
The needle of a compass is a magnet, and the earth is also a magnet. The side of the compass marked N is attracted to the north pole of the Earth, and the side marked S is attracted to Earth's south pole. The compass will spin to line itself up with the poles it is attracted to. However, if you have other magnets nearby, the compass can spin to line itself up with those instead.
How could magnetic rocks affect a compass and why?
In a regular magnetic compass, the needle is a magnet. One end is the south pole and the other end is the north pole. Magnets are affected by other magnets. If a magnet is placed near a magnetic compass, the north pole of the compass's needle is attracted by the south pole of the magnet, and the south pole of the compass's needle is attracted by the north pole of the magnet.
Is a VHS a magnetic storage device?
Yes, that is why a magnet nearby can erase the contents (hehehe)
What is meant by a magnetic circuit?
Lines of force go from a North pole of a magnet to the South pole external to a magnet, and through the magnet itself. This path is the magnetic circuit. It may be diverted and distorted by magnetic materials nearby.
