seeing as the nail is iron and iron is a metal that conducts metal, you won't need to do anything to that nail to make it magnetic seeing as the nail is iron and iron is a metal that conducts metal, you won't need to do anything to that nail to make it magnetic seeing as the nail is iron and iron is a metal that conducts metal, you won't need to do anything to that nail to make it magnetic

How do you demagnetize a apir of tweezers that somehow became magnetized?

A sharp blow with a hammer should do the trick. The atoms in the tweezers are all alligned north/south, hitting them should dealign the atoms and therefore demagnetize the tweezers. Be carefull not to damage the tweezers!!!


Can stainless steel be magnatized?

Yes, stainless steel can be magnetized to some extent. The level of magnetic properties can vary depending on the specific grade of stainless steel and its composition. Generally, austenitic stainless steels (e.g. 304, 316) are not magnetic, while ferritic and martensitic stainless steels can be magnetized.


Do bar magnets use conductive wire and electricity to create a magnetic field?

Bar magnets are already magnetized. They don't need to add wire and electricity.


Why do iron and steel become magnetized?

Iron and steel, the latter of which is an alloy of iron, carbon, and perhaps a few other metals, are sensitive to magnetic fields. In addition, the atoms are able to reorient themselves within the metallic crystal lattice to align themselves with the magnetic field. This creates what are termed magnetic domains. In summary, the magnetic domains created when the specified materials are exposed to a magnetic field will retain an "imprint" of the field that created them. The iron or steel is then said to be magnetized.


Will a steel drawing pin attract to a north pole magnet?

Yes, a steel drawing pin will be attracted to a north pole magnet because it is made of a ferromagnetic material (steel) that can be magnetized by the magnetic field of the magnet.

Is it impossible to demagnetize steel using iron?

No. Steel is mostly iron.


If a nail is made of steel will it be magnetized why?

Yes, if a nail is made of steel, it will will not be magnetized unless it is magnetized by a magnet by being hit.


How do you magnetize steel bar?

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.


How do you demagnetize a magnetized iron nail?

To demagnetize a magnetized iron nail, simply repeatedly heat the nail and then let it cool slowly. This process will disrupt the alignment of the magnetic domains within the nail, effectively demagnetizing it.


How much heat is needed to d magnetize steel?

The amount of heat needed to demagnetize steel varies depending on the type of steel and the strength of the magnetization. Generally, heating steel above its Curie temperature (around 760°C for most steels) can demagnetize it by overcoming the magnetic ordering of the material.


Would a North Pole attract a piece of steel?

Doubt it because the piece of steel is not magnetized.

Does steel attract steel?

Yes.


Can magnets be made of steel?

Most steels can be magnetized, but not all. Some stainless steel alloys are not magnetic.


How do you magnetize a screwdriver?

Rub it against a magnet repeatedly. * The screwdriver can only be magnetized if made from steel or another magnetic metal, and most of them are. * Once magnetized, the screwdriver will remain magnetized always.


Will a magnetized screwdriver attrat steel screws?

Yes, a magnetized screwdriver will attract steel screws. The magnetization of the screwdriver helps to hold the screws in place and can make it easier to install them.


Why is it impossible to demagnetize steel using iron?

Check the Wikipedia article on "Degaussing". I am not sure, what experimental setup you are thinking about.
