Want this question answered?
Either pole of a magnet can attract steel.
Only if that piece of steel is the north pole of a compass. In short the steel has to be magnetized, and it has to be able to move. A bar magnet resting on the ground would not move because there is too much friction and the force of the magnetic pole is relatively weak. Though apparently if you suspend a bar magnet by a piece of string, it will align itself to the poles.
Magnet attract things made of iron nickel steel
magnets attract steel why then is a compass needle affected by a pice of steel if the steel is not magnetised
electromagnet
Only by inducing a magnetic field within the "unmagnetised steel".
That depends on the steel. If it is a ferrous steel the magnet (either North or South) will attract it - If it is a a stainless steel that is austenitic steel it will not.

A magnet ........
what is the diffrence between a magnetised nail and a unmagnetised nail
magnets only attract iron and steel
A scrap heap magnet attracts steel - but not steel with a high chromium or nickel content
Put the magnet back on the fridge.Kevin liked to play with a magnet.

Yeah.................. I guess it would
