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.

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.
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 is a stroke method of making magnet?
First, grab an iron nail. Next, grab a bar magnet. Stroke the iron nail with the bar magnet at least 20 times. You can increase the strength by stroking it more. Now, bring the iron nail near some paper clips. It attracts them! Science is cool!
What are some things that you stick to a magnet?
paper clip nail iron sand refrigerator staple
If you have a a magnet stuck to the nail then a paper clip stuck to the nail then you take the magnet away and the nail in the paper clip are still together why did that happen?
this happens because the magnet has magnetised the nail

Which type of nail iron or copper would stick to magnet?
The iron nail would stick to a magnet. Copper is not attracted to magnets.
Does an iron nail stick to a magnet?
Yes.
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
When you touch a magnet to a steel nail the nail attracts steel paper clips. Explaine why this does not happen when you use an aluminum nail?
it wouldn't be magnet to a aluminum nail because the aluminum is not a way of magnet and a steel nail would because steel is a way of magnet.
