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 .
Why is steel attracted to metal but brass is not?
Steel is attracted to a magnet because of its iron content. Brass contains no iron.
Are all metal objects attracted to a magnet?
=No not all metals are attracted to a magnet for example tin isn't attracted to a magnet. Hopes this helps a bit.=
How do the iron filings behave when sprinkled over the bar or horseshoe magnet?

What is the north pole of the magnet?
The pole attracted to the Earth's north pole, or another magnet's south pole.
What is the North pole of one magnet will be attracted to what?

How can one determine the poles of the magnetised iron bar?
Use a compass. The north (-seeking) pole of the compass will be attracted to the south pole of the magnet.
Will iron nails be attracted to a magnet?
Yes.Yes, iron being ferromagnetic in nature, is attracted by a magnet
What would the North Pole of magnet be attracted to?
South Pole of another Magnet or towards the South Pole of the Earth
Why does a compass needle spin toward the magnet when yu put it near a magnet?
The compass is a magnet too; and magnets attract each other.

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.
Is an iron railing attracted by magnet?
An iron railing is attracted to a magnet due to its ferromagnetic properties. Iron contains domains of aligned atomic magnetic moments, which can be influenced by an external magnetic field, causing the iron to become magnetized and thus attracted to the magnet.
Can iron be attracted to magnet?
Yes
What metal is attracted to magnet?
iron, cobalt and nickel but any compound with any of these in like steel, which contains iron, are attracted to a magnet.
Is iron attracted by a magnet?
If the iron is magnetized, yes. It also depends on the size of the magnet.
