Presumably, one of them, or both, were magnetic.
it contains iron
yes
Wrapping a number of coils of insulated wire around an iron nail, and a passing a current from a battery through it, turns the iron nail in to an electro-magnet. While the current flows, the nail will attract metal objects. It is a standard demonstaration in science classes in schools. The more turns the stronger the attraction.
A magnet is made of 'Soft' Iron. A pin has steel (iron) in it. A match does NOT have iron in it.
Use the magnet to stroke the iron nail many times and you try to attract something
Yes, While there are many different types of magnets and magnetic material, the most common elements that can hold a magnetic charge naturally (ferromagnetic) include "Iron" "Cobalt" and "Nickel"
Yes, iron is a magnetic material, so an iron nail can be easily magnetized. When exposed to a magnetic field, iron atoms align in such a way that they create a magnetic field, making the iron nail act as a magnet.
Like poles will repel.Unlike poles will attract.
Magnets attract iron nails because iron is a ferromagnetic material, meaning it can be magnetized and respond to magnetic fields. In contrast, plastic is a non-magnetic material that does not have the properties to be influenced by a magnet. Therefore, while the magnet induces a magnetic field in the iron nail, it has no effect on the plastic button.
When the switch is closed, electricity flows through the iron nail, causing it to become an electromagnet. The flow of electric current generates a magnetic field around the nail, magnetizing it temporarily. This allows the iron nail to attract ferromagnetic materials, such as small metal objects. Once the switch is opened and the current stops, the nail will lose its magnetism.
Yes, when you bring a bar magnet close to the first iron nail, it will induce magnetism in the nail, making it act like a magnet. This induced magnetism can attract and lift a second nail, as long as the second nail is made of a ferromagnetic material like iron. The strength of the attraction will depend on the magnetism induced in the first nail and the distance between the two nails.
