A magnet attracts a piece of iron and the iron can then attract another piece of iron .What is the basis of this attraction?
When an iron piece is quite away from the magnet ,i.e, not present in magnetic field of the magnet then the iron piece is in neutral state ,i.e, there is no north & south pole . But , as soon as the iron piece interacts with magnetic field of magnet ,i.e, near to the magnet then the north pole of magnet make the nearer part or end of the iron piece south pole & simultaneously other part of iron becomes north pole . Similarly if south pole of the magnet interacts with iron piece then that end/part becomes north pole & other end becomes north pole . Now this iron piece has north & south pole .So iron piece is now converted into magnet which can attract other iron pieces in similar way as explained before .

Can a magnet attract to a demagnetized iron rod?
Yes. In this case, the magnet will induce magnetism in the iron, which is originally unmagnetized. Once the magnet is removed, the iron may return to an unmagnetized state; unless the magnetic field near the piece of iron is very strong.
Are all metal objects attracted to a magnet?
No, not all metal objects are attracted to a magnet. Only ferromagnetic materials like iron, nickel, and cobalt are attracted to magnets due to their alignment of magnetic moments. Other metals like copper, aluminum, and gold are not attracted to magnets.

How do you find the north and south pole of a magnet?
The north pole of a magnet is attracted to the Earth's geographical North Pole, and the south pole is attracted to the Earth's geographical South Pole. You can also use a compass to find the north and south poles of a magnet - the needle will align with the north pole of the magnet.

What is the North pole of one magnet will be attracted to what?
The north pole of one magnet will be attracted to the south pole of another magnet due to their opposite polarities. Like poles repel each other, while opposite poles attract.
Which pole north or south of a compass magnet is attracted to Earht's magnetic north pole?
The north pole of the magnet is the one that points north. The Earth magentic pole that is near the north pole is traditionally called the "magnetic north pole", but if you consider Earth as a magnet, it is really the SOUTH pole, since the north pole of a magnet is attracted to it.
