What is a way to make a homemade compass?

for this you need an iron pin, a magnet and a plastic cap that can float on water. Magnetize the iron pin by rubbing a magnet on it continuously in one direction for about 15 minutes. Now place the needle in the centre of the plastic cap and hold it in position with cello tape. take a container containing water and put the cap in it such that it floats on it. The pin will always point in north south direction. but the compass can be confused by a magnet placed near it.


Can a magnet have 3 poles?

Of course . You can make such a magnet easily using a safety pin. Take a safety pin and magnetize it using a permanent magnet. Then unfold it. The ends will have same poles and at the middle you will have the other. So you can have a magnet with three poles. Verify it using compass.


How does a magnet attract pins?

Stroke a magnet down the length of the pin repeatedly. The proximity and movement of the magnet along the pin cause some of the iron molecules to become aligned like those in the magnet. The more strokes, the stronger the magnetic field in the pin will become, up to a certain threshold (the number of iron molecules available and able to align in the pin is limited).


What is rubbing velocity at a pin joint?

it is the velocity of two rubbed pin joints in kinematic pairs.


Explain why a magnet can attract pins but not matches?

A magnet is made of 'Soft' Iron. A pin has steel (iron) in it. A match does NOT have iron in it.


Can a safety pin become a temporary magnet?

Yes but not for very long.


Will a steel drawing pin attract to a north pole magnet?

if its not magnitised then , yes.


What is a maganetic force explain with an example?

force that experience by ferromagnetic or paramagnetic substances when they are in the region of the magnetic field.For example, when you place a permenant magnet over an iron pin, the iron pin ( in this case, iron is ferromagnetic substances) is in the region of the magnetic field and attracted to the magnet.


How does a credit card machine work?

You put your card into the machine, the magnet recognizes the strip on the card and asks for the pin. The user enters the pin and then next paths are made.


Why does a pin attracted by a magnet move upwards and not downwards towards the earth's gravitational pull?

because, the strength of the metal magnet is stronger then that of the earths gravity when held at a close distance.


How do you magnetize a dress maker's pin?

You can magnetize a dress making pin by stroking it in one direction with a permanent magnet. I have done it using a good quality fridge magnet. Dress making pins may become magnetized when they are dropped on a hard surface, for example a tiled floor.


Which part of a magnetic will repail a domestic pin?

If the pin is not initially magnetized, then it'll be attracted to either end of a magnet.If the pin is magnetized, then its north and south poles will each be repelled by thelike pole of any other magnet.
