What is the nail in an electromagnet?
The nail in an electromagnet is the core of the electromagnet. It is there to provide the magnetic lines of force a "highway" to get from one end of the coil to the other end through the middle of the coil. The magnetic lines of force "like" the nail because it is a ferromagnetic material. They can travel through it very easily - and they do! The nail also provides the "working end" of the electromagnet. The magnetic field lines emerge from the nail, and then act on what is there. If you are, say, doing a separation experiment removing steel tacks that are mixed in with small brass nails (brads), the tacks will stick to the end of the nail at the "working surface" or the pole of the electromagnet.
What happens when you rub a nail with a magnet?
Rubbing a nail with a magnet will align some of the magnetic domains in the nail. This will have the effect of making the nail into a magnet. The nail won't be a strong magnet, but it will come away with some residual magnetism. Suggestion: try a simple experiment with a nail and a magnet and some small paper clips to see if this works.
Why does a paper clip stick to a nail when it's on a magnet?
The nail contains iron, which is ferromagnetic. Ferromagnets respond to a magnetic field (from a magnet) by generating their own magnetic field, ie, they become a magnet in the presence of a magnet. They also exhibit hysteresis, in that if they are exposed to a strong enough magnetic field, it will lock in and become a permanent magnet.
What happens when a nail gets dropped into silver nitrate?
it sits there for about 2 seconds then dissolves
What happens when iron nail is added to zinc sulphate solution?
No reaction will take place as iron is less reactive than zinc.
When you take a nail and a paperclip and they stick together on a magnet then take the magnet away the nail and paperclip still stick together what is that called?
However, if you bring a magnet near a piece of iron, such as a nail,and the paperclip. If the paperclip does not fall then the magnetic field has the iron nail. The result is a temporary magnet called an 'electromagnet'. The magnets either stick together or are suspended in midair
What rusts faster penny nail or paperclip?
a penny
Why does a nail not stick to a paperclip?
They are not attracted to each other because they are not magnetic.

How can you make a magnet less strong?
magnetism is the force of attraction which exists between two bodies which are not in contact.It is this force that pulls a nail,office pins or paperclip towards a magnet.
What is concrete nail?
a nail designed to penetrate concrete and hold
Is a nail a magnet?
No, a nail is not a magnet. But a nail can be made into a magnet.The nail can be wrapped with a coil of wire and will become the core of an electromagnet if a DC current is run through the coil. Additionally, if the nail is exposed to a magnetic field, this field will "impress" a magnetic field on the nail. This small field will remain when the source of the original field is removed. There is more.If a nail is heated above its Curie temperature and it is placed in a static magnetic field and is cooled in this field, the nail will remain permanently magnetized. The latter process is how magnetics are made, but nails are not used. Rather we'll see some special ferromagnetic alloys used to make the permanent magnets as these alloys will "hold" a magnetic field much better than the steel in a nail will.
What happens to a steel nail in Ginger Ale?
The steel nail will rust.
Why does a screw hold better than a nail?
because the threads hold them into place while as a nail works its way out at a point of time !
Who is the best coil nails manufacturers in India?
It isa brand called miles. They are the best coil nail manufactures in India .They provide sturdy and high quality coil nails.
What are coil nails made of?
Coil nails are made up of a series of nails arranged in a circular pattern and connected by a metal piece. These coil nails are intended for use with a nail gun. Coil nail manufacturers in India make certain that their products are made of high-quality materials. These manufacturing businesses can be found almost anywhere in the country.
