It does ONLY if the atoms are lined up properly (and you line them up using a magnetic field).

How do you test if something is a magnet?
Get a randomn piece of iron and put it next to the magnet. Hope this helps someone.
What piece of equipment would iron and other metallic objects use to separate?
A magnet.
How can you tunna piece of iron in to a temporary magnet?
Wrap the iron with many turns of insulated copper wire. Then send a current through the wire. The iron core will become an electro-magnet while the electricity is running.
How is an electromagnet similar to a magnet?
The reason is because an electromagnet is hooked up to an artificial energy force, while a magnet is a charged piece of metal example: a battery hooked up to a piece of iron attracts paperclips but a magnet can be made by stroking a paperclip against a bar magnet to create a temporary magnet somewhat how a compass works
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.
When a piece of iron behaves like a magnet when it is touching a permanent magnet that is called?
The process by which a iron piece touching a permanent magnet behaves as a magnet as long as it maintains contact is called magnetic induction. not only does this work when the iron is physically touching the magnet but it works as long as the piece of iron remains under the influence of the magnet. A iron piece attracted to a magnet through a paper with out any physical contact will also behave as a magnet.
A magnet attracts a piece of iron and the iron can then attract another piece of iron .What is the basis of this attraction?
When an iron piece is quite away from the magnet ,i.e, not present in magnetic field of the magnet then the iron piece is in neutral state ,i.e, there is no north & south pole . But , as soon as the iron piece interacts with magnetic field of magnet ,i.e, near to the magnet then the north pole of magnet make the nearer part or end of the iron piece south pole & simultaneously other part of iron becomes north pole . Similarly if south pole of the magnet interacts with iron piece then that end/part becomes north pole & other end becomes north pole . Now this iron piece has north & south pole .So iron piece is now converted into magnet which can attract other iron pieces in similar way as explained before .
How can a magnet attract a piece of iron that is not magnet?
Iron is a magnetic material, it conducts metal.
What c is the piece of iron inside a magnet?
core
How can you tell if a piece of iron is magnetized or neutral?
If the piece of metal is a magnet it will attract another piece of iron. You should be able to feel this attraction as the two become very close. It's magnetic field can be "seen"( that is the effect) by placing iron filings on a piece of glass and place the magnet beneath the glass. Otherwise it is not a magnet.
What c is the piece of iron inside an electro magnet?
Core
How do you test if something is a magnet?
Get a randomn piece of iron and put it next to the magnet. Hope this helps someone.
How can you figure out if a piece of metal is iron or aluminum?
Hold a magnet against it. magnets attract iron.
What happens to the iron ruler if it rubs with a magnet?
It will become an electro-magnet which is an temporary magnet. it is because of the induction property, the magnetic effect gets transfered to the Scale. (it can be any piece of Iron)
Where you get magnet?
To get a magnet.Magnets are available in nature.You can make a magnet by tying a piece of iron to a strong magnet for some time.You can also get a magnet by making an Electo-magnet or solenoid.
Why don't a normal piece of iron react like a magnet?
because the iron filings are in a magnetic field
Can a magnet attract to a demagnetized iron rod?
Yes. In this case, the magnet will induce magnetism in the iron, which is originally unmagnetized. Once the magnet is removed, the iron may return to an unmagnetized state; unless the magnetic field near the piece of iron is very strong.
