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.
What kind of magnet is a magnetized iron nail?

How does rubbing a magnet along an iron nail create a temporary magnet?
No. It only needs to pass through a magnetic field to become magnetized. It does not need to come into physical contact with the magnet producing that field. This is because the process of magnetization has to do with electromagnetic induction rather than physical contact. You can perform a simple experiment at home to prove this point. You'll need a bar magnet, a paper clip, and a thin sheet of paper. Place the paper between the magnet and the clip. Rub the clip against the paper on top of the magnet, and observe that the clip will still become magnetized even though it is not in physical contact with the magnet.
Is a matchstick magnetic?
No, a matchstick is not magnetic. It does not have any magnetic properties as it is typically made of wood with a flammable tip.
How do you turn a nail into a magnet?
you cant ?i dont think Answer (Contrablue)If the nail is made of iron or steel (an alloy of iron with a bit of carbon and usually certain metals such as molybdenum or chromium), it can be magnetized by rubbing it against a magnet. That is the easy and cheap way to turn a nail into a magnet.A more expensive way is to use a machine that subjects the nail to a strong magnetic field. This can turn the nail into a reasonably strong magnet. However, most of us don't have access to such a machine.
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.

An iron nail is more strongly attracted to the?
An iron nail is more strongly attracted to a magnet because the iron nail itself is made of ferromagnetic material, which can become magnetized in the presence of a magnetic field. This causes the iron nail to be attracted to the magnet.
What is the difference between a strongly magnetized nail and a weakly magnetized nail?
In an un-magnetised nail there are tiny domains, each in themselves would be a little magnet, however, in a magnetized steel nail the magnetic "domains" tend to be lined up in the same direction. A domain is a tiny magnet because electrons are spinning with the same orientation. Refer to the related link in the Related Links section below for more details.
What must happen in order for the nail to be magnetized?
For a nail to be magnetized, it must be exposed to a strong magnetic field, which aligns the magnetic domains within the material. This alignment can occur through direct contact with a magnet, rubbing the nail with a magnet, or placing it in a solenoid with an electric current. Once the domains are aligned, the nail retains its magnetism until it is demagnetized by heat, impact, or a reverse magnetic field.
What happens when a nail is placed near a magnet?
When a nail is placed near a magnet, it can become magnetized due to the magnetic field of the magnet. The magnet induces a magnetic alignment in the nail's iron atoms, causing the nail to exhibit its own magnetic properties. If the magnet is strong enough, the nail may even be attracted to the magnet, demonstrating the principle of magnetism in ferromagnetic materials. Once removed from the magnetic field, the nail may retain some magnetization but will generally lose most of it over time.
Diagram of iron nail being magnetized?
To magnetize an iron nail, align the nail along the magnetic field lines of a magnet and rub one end of the magnet against the iron nail in the same direction multiple times. This process will cause the domains in the iron nail to align in the direction of the magnetic field, creating a magnetized iron nail.
What kind of magnet is a magnet made from a steel paper clip?
If it has been magnetized by another magnet, then it is just a temporary magnet, but if it uses an electric current, then it is an electro-magnet.
How can a non magnetic nail be magnetised?
Typically you can magnetize iron or steel by exposing it to a strong magnetic field. Common "ceramic" magnets may not be strong enough, but you may need a strong rare earth magnet or a strong electro magnet.
What happens when you hammer a magnetised nail?
Hammering a magnetized nail can disrupt its magnetic alignment, causing it to lose its magnetization. The force and impact from the hammer can cause the magnetic domains within the nail to realign randomly, leading to the loss of the nail's magnetic properties.

How can you magnetize a nail?
A nail can be magnetized by being hit with a magnet 50 or so times, alternately, if a nail or other piece of metal which is attracted to magnets (these metals are called ferromagnetic by scientists) is left near a strong magnet for a long period of time (a few days to a few years depending on how strong the magnet is) it will become magnetic.
