?? lol i dont know what electro magnets u have been using! if it is a homemade electro magnet, try increasing the coils in the wire ro the power u are putting into it.
does the bar magnet (permanent magnet) have a larger surface area than the electro one? also, you do know that the magnetic potential of electro and permanent magnets vary right? they use electro magnets in junk yards that are capable of lifting scrap cars with eaaase

Why will one magnet pick up more paper clips than two of the same magnets put together?
I'm not an expert, but it would probably be because the two different electromagnetic fields from the magnets are not lining up. This would cause part of the attractive force to be canceled out, and for less paper clips to stick. It really depends on how you have the magnets put together.
When you touch a magnet to a steel nail the nail attracts steel paper clips. Explaine why this does not happen when you use an aluminum nail?
it wouldn't be magnet to a aluminum nail because the aluminum is not a way of magnet and a steel nail would because steel is a way of magnet.
Two magnets were placed at a distance of 6 and 12 inches from atwo paper clips but the clips reached the magnets at the same time time why?
It is possible that one magnet is stronger than the other one. It would have to be about 4 times as strong to achieve this result.
If you are given some iron fillings and a magnet describe how you would find the poles of the magnet?
If possible cover the magnet with a sheet of paper and gently sprinkle the iron filings over the sheet ot paper, they will stick in a pattern following the magnetic "lines of flux" which will get closer and closer near the poles of the magnet. Afterwards you can cleanup by lifting the sheet of paper off of the magnet and the filings will fall away. Without the paper the filings will usually become tightly stuck to the magnet, making it hard to clean.
What would not attach to a magnet a steel paper clip aauminum pot?
aluminum pot
What are some inventions at schools?
What if there was a magnet glove that would work for the paper clips and stuff that would be really cool

What would be heavier a pound of bricks or a pound of paper clips?
paper clips
How long would a chain of one million paper clips be?
10 paper clips is 7.5 inches, so 7.5X100,000= A million paper clips
How long is a millon paper clips in a line in inches?
Paper clips come in different sizes. A million two-inch paper clips would be two million inches long.

How many paper clips do you need to equal a pencil?
You would need 4 paper clips in order to equal the weight of a pencil.
Would an iron paper clip attract a magnet?
Yes.
How much would 5438 paper clips weigh?
I would suggest you get a sample of 100 paper clips (count them), weigh them, then multiply the result with 54.38. If the weight of the 100 paper clips is too low to get an accurate reading, count off a larger number, and weigh them. In this case, of course, you would have to multiply by a smaller factor.
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
Does 5 thousand paper clips weigh 5 thousand grams?
Yes they would but only if the average weight of all the paper clips was 1 gram each.
