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.


Why when we attract two pins with a magnet the pins will repel?

If you can attract the same two pins with one magnet, then they are both of either positive or negative charge. Because they have the same charge, the pins will repel each other.


How do you separate steel pins and wooden toothpicks?

Use magnet to separate pins :)


Why can magnets only attract pins and not matches?

MAGNETS ATTRACT IRON! The pin is made of an iron so it is able to attract to the magnet. The match on the other hand, is made of cardboard paper substance. Paper and cardboard both DO NOT contain iron. That is why magnets attract pins but not matches.


How many aluminium and steel pins will a magnet be able to hold?

Do safety pins stick to magnets?

A mixture of pins and toothpicks?

A mixture of pins and toothpicks can be separated by using a magnet to attract the pins and leaving the toothpicks behind. Alternatively, the mixture can be sifted through a sieve to separate the larger pins from the smaller toothpicks.


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 happens when you dip a bar magnet in a pile of pins?

When you dip a bar magnet into a pile of pins, the magnetic field of the bar magnet induces magnetism in the pins, causing them to become temporarily magnetized. As a result, the pins are attracted to the magnet and will stick to it. This phenomenon occurs because the magnetic domains within the pins align with the magnetic field of the bar magnet, allowing them to respond to the magnetic force. Once removed from the magnet, most pins will lose their magnetism and return to their non-magnetic state.


How can you separate aluminum pins and iron pins easily?

Use a magnet, that will separate all the iron pins


What is used for storing pins or needles?

I prefer to store my needles in a smaller, separate container from my pins. I store my straight pins in a paper clip holder with a magnet in the top; this keeps the pins in the container well and the magnet aids in retrieving stray pins.
