because the magnet causes particles called electrons in the atoms of the nail to align along the magnet's lines of force. The atoms with aligned electrons then act like tiny bar magnets themselves.

How do you make a magnet by stroking?
by stroking a magnet the right way you will make the magnet very happy, this will cause it to magnetise better, much like stroking a cat or dog. a happy magnet is a strong magnet
Why does rubbing a pin with a magnet make it magnetised?
by this procces you r-arrenge the atoms of the pin by a special shape that makes it a magnet
How can you make an iron nail into a magnet?
Use a D battery, connect the negative and positive to separate copper wire. On the other end of the wire, wrap it around an iron nail (make sure there is space between the wire) and there you go!!
Three ways for increasing magnetic strength of solenoid?
refers to various ways of making a magnet from magnetic materials.they include: stroking method, electrical method, magnetism through hammaring among others*Induction *Stroking method : 2 types which are single touch method and double touch method *Electrical method ( By keeping the material to be magnetized in a solenoid and passing Direct current through it)The three methods to make magnet are:induction: the process of producing a electric or magnetic effects in a material with an electric charge or a magnet.stroking: is the process of rubbing in one direction.electricity: is a process to do with electric charge, particularly the use of electric energy.The three methods of making magnets are:1. Single touch method2. Double touch methodand by electrical method.
How can you test if a material is magnetic?
Using a compass; You move the compass around the object and if the hand in the compass goes mad, then it is a magnet To test how something is magnetic: See if it sticks to a magnet. It will only be magnetic if it is made from nickle, iron or cobalt. Steel is also magnetic because it is made mostly from iron. Hope this helps x

How do you make an iron a magnet?
by stroking it with another magnet :D

What is the difference between a magnet and something that is magnetised?
A magnetised material doesn't have the properties to attract or repel, however it can BE attracted. There is a clear difference between the two - make sure to not mistake them for eachother. Hope this helps. If you have any further querys I suggest questioning a teacher if you are at school, or contacting me. :)
What are to ways to make a magnet from an unmagnetized ferromagnetic material?
unmagnetized material pressentation
What are two ways to make a magnet from a unmagnetized ferromagnetic material?
unmagnetized material pressentation
How does magnetic material become a magnet?
Placing the material in a strong magnetic field will align its' domains. You can swipe a metal tool on a magnet and make it a magnet.
How do you use one magnet to make a second magnet?
You can magnetize a piece of steel or iron, by stroking it with one end of a magnet. Stroke in one direction only, lifting off and away between each stroke. This aligns the atoms in a regular direction, in the blank piece of steel.
Does magnet attract copper coin?
Yes, copper is a type of magnet. not very strong if its a coin but strong enough to be attracted to another metal e.g: oid LOL or iron. you can make a magnet by stroking iron! proper fascinating.

Why is it inadvisable to make a horseshoe magnet from a flexible material?
A horseshoe magnet has a North pole one one of the feet and a south pole on the other. A magnet made of flexible material would collapse on itself as the two poles attract.
How does iron become magnetic?
Iron is a magnetic material, which means that it can be attracted by magnets. To make it become magnetic so as to attract other objects (i.e. to function as a magnet), the process of magnetic induction can be used. This can involve stroking the iron rod with a magnet several times (e.g. 20 times) in a fixed direction.
