If this happens, it means that the iron contained in the sand will orient itself along the magnetic field lines.
The iron filings align along the magnetic field lines when sprinkled over a bar or horseshoe magnet. This creates a visual representation of the magnetic field around the magnet. The filings cluster at the poles of the magnet where the magnetic field is strongest.
When iron fillings are sprinkled near a magnet, they will be attracted to the magnet and align themselves along the magnetic field lines. This occurs because the iron fillings are small magnetic dipoles with north and south poles that align with the magnetic field of the magnet.
The iron fillings will align with the magnetic field produced by the magnet, forming elongated patterns along the field lines. They will cluster around the poles of the magnet, where the magnetic field is the strongest.
No.
Iron filings are commonly used to demonstrate the lines of magnetic force around a magnet. When sprinkled around a magnet, the filings align themselves along the magnetic field lines, making the field visible.
Use a magnet. The magnet will remove the iron filings form the sand.
With a magnet or by sprinkling iron fillings an cardboard if you use it to see the pattern of magnetic field.
No, it's a permanent magnet. It consists of an iron oxide, and iron is a permanent magnet.

There are several experiments known as Gilbert's Experiment, but the most common is in induced magnetism. This showed that an piece of iron became temporarily magnetic when placed on a magnet. This is why sprinkled iron on a paper over a bar magnet seems (but actually does not) show magnetic lines of force. Instead the iron particles just obey Gilbert's Law of Induced Magnetism.

A lodestone is a naturally occurring magnet and is considered to be a strong magnet.
