Is a matchstick magnetic?
No, they are made of wood or paper, and are not magnetic. An iron nail is attracted to a magnet, and can become magnetized.
What kind of magnet is a magnetized iron nail?
any end or to say specifically any molecule of magnet would attract the nail for nail is not a polarised one doubts can be clarified at hemanth87542@yahoo.com any end or to say specifically any molecule of magnet would attract the nail for nail is not a polarised one doubts can be clarified at hemanth87542@yahoo.com
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.
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.
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.
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.

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 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.
What happens when you hammer a magnetised nail?
It makes all the domains of the magnet jumble up ( they all turn separate ways ) So the nail is no longer acting as a magnet
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.
What happens if you bring two iron nails close to each other?
Unless one or both iron nails are magnetized, then nothing will happen. If one nail is magnetized, then the other nail will be attracted to the magnetized nail.

What happens if you bring two iron nails close to( or touching)each other?
Unless one or both iron nails are magnetized, then nothing will happen. If one nail is magnetized, then the other nail will be attracted to the magnetized nail.
