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.
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.
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.
A magnetized nail is a temporary magnet, known as an induced magnet. It becomes magnetized when it comes into contact with a permanent magnet, aligning its magnetic domains in the same direction. This temporary magnetism can be lost if the nail is no longer in contact with a permanent magnet.
No, a matchstick is not magnetic. It does not have any magnetic properties as it is typically made of wood with a flammable tip.
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!

The magnet induced magnetic properties in the nail and the paper clip, causing them to attract each other. When the magnet was removed, the induced magnetism in the nail and paper clip allowed them to remain attracted to each other.
The nail is demonstrating induced magnetism. When the magnet comes into contact with the nail, it temporarily magnetizes the nail by aligning the magnetic domains within it, allowing the nail to pick up the paper clip. This effect lasts only as long as the nail remains magnetized, which typically diminishes once the external magnetic field is removed.

The iron nail would stick to a magnet. Copper is not attracted to magnets.
A steel nail and a magnet can stick together because steel is a ferromagnetic material. This means that it can be magnetized and will be attracted to a magnet. When a magnet is brought close to a steel nail, the magnetic field can cause the nail to become magnetized, leading to attraction. However, if the nail is not magnetized or if the magnet is too weak, they may not stick together.
Yes.
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
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.
When Reva places an iron nail close to a magnet, the magnet's magnetic field induces magnetism in the nail. This causes the nail to become a temporary magnet, aligning its own magnetic domains with the external magnetic field. As a result, the nail is attracted to the magnet and will stick to it until removed from the magnetic field.

IT can dissolve a paper clip, but it cant dissolve meat or a nail.
