a steel bar is a magnetically susceptable material. if you apply a magnetic field through the steel bar, such as applying a DC current through a solenoid winded around it, it will become magnetized.

Just rubbing a magnet against the steel bar will help align all the magnetic dipoles in a general direction for it to be considered a magnet.

Why an ac supply is not used to magnetize a bar of steel?

An AC supply is not used to magnetize a bar of steel because the alternating current continuously changes direction, causing the magnetic field to fluctuate. This results in the magnetization being ineffective, as the steel would not retain a stable magnetic orientation. For permanent magnetization, a direct current (DC) supply is preferred, as it creates a steady magnetic field that can align the domains in the steel and maintain the magnetization.


Why does a steel ship become magnatised as it is constructed?

Welding, in short. Welding steel which contains iron will magnetize it as running an electric current through it will create a temporary magnetic field. This field will magnetize the iron in the steel and therefore give the ship a field of its own.


Why is magnitizing a piece of steel a physical change?

Cause you're changing the direction of the atoms when you magnetize it.


Why don't you use steel for elctromagnets?

because steel keeps its magnetism for a bit when you switch off the current so it would still magnetize things.

Is it possible to magnetise en8?

Yes, it is possible to magnetize EN8 steel. EN8 is a low carbon steel with good magnetic properties that can be magnetized through induction with a strong enough magnetic field.


How will you use a solenoid to magnetise a steel bar?

When you pass an electric current through a solenoid, a roughly uniform magnetic field is produced inside the coils. Exposing a ferromagnetic material such as steel to a magnetic field will magnetise it, so placing a steel bar inside the coils of a solenoid with sufficient current passing through it will magnetise the bar.
