Best Answer

A piece of any magnetic material, like iron or steel (a nail, knitting needle, bolt etc.) is take and placed on a bench or a table. A bar magnet is brought close to the magnetic material (say an iron piece AB). One end of the bar magnet is stroked against it, moving from end A to end B of the iron piece. When the bar reached end B, it is lifted and the stroke is repeated from A to end B. This procedure is repeated several times, keeping two things in mind:

(a) The same pole of the bar magnet should be used every time

(b) Strokes should be in the same direction

By stroking the iron piece with the north pole of the bar magnet, end A becomes the North Pole, and end B the South Pole. If you bring the South Pole of any magnet close to end A now, what will you observe? You will observe that the two attract, which simply proves that end A acquires the North Pole.

In the single touch method, the steel bar to be magnetized is rubbed with either of the poles of a magnet, keeping the other pole away from it. Rubbing is only done in one direction as shown.

Three ways for increasing magnetic strength of solenoid?

refers to various ways of making a magnet from magnetic materials.they include: stroking method, electrical method, magnetism through hammaring among others*Induction *Stroking method : 2 types which are single touch method and double touch method *Electrical method ( By keeping the material to be magnetized in a solenoid and passing Direct current through it)The three methods to make magnet are:induction: the process of producing a electric or magnetic effects in a material with an electric charge or a magnet.stroking: is the process of rubbing in one direction.electricity: is a process to do with electric charge, particularly the use of electric energy.The three methods of making magnets are:1. Single touch method2. Double touch methodand by electrical method.

What is double touch method of making magnet?

It was noticed that magnetizing a steel bar could be made easier by the use of the double touch method. Procedure: 1.Place a steel bar on a flat surface. e.g a table 2.Then two strong bar magnets are struck on the steel bar with their opposite poles striking the steel bar on either side AB.e.g the north pole of one magnet strikes side A and the south pole of another magnet strikes side B. 3.The magnets are moved to the centre and when they reach the centre,they are taken back to their original places in a magnetic field of way. 4.This stroke is repeated for several times until A and B gain a polarity. 5.You will notice that A will get the opposite polarity as B.i.e A will become the south pole while B will become the north pole.


Do magnets have to touch each other in order to experience a magnetic force?

not always as the south pole of a magnet is magnetic yet it repels another south pole. :D


When a magnet touch an iron nail does the nail becomes a temporary magnet?

The magnetic field would propagate through the material and extend itself for the length of the magnetic material in contact. As long as there is contact there is no pole present. When contact is broken the pole would be the opposite to the pole it was in contact with

No.


Does a magnet need to touch the paper clips to excert and attractive force?

You need to do the experiment. If the magnet is strong enough, metal (steel, iron) will jump to the magnet (or pull the magnet towards it).
