A magnet attracts a piece of iron and the iron can then attract another piece of iron .What is the basis of this attraction?
When an iron piece is quite away from the magnet ,i.e, not present in magnetic field of the magnet then the iron piece is in neutral state ,i.e, there is no north & south pole . But , as soon as the iron piece interacts with magnetic field of magnet ,i.e, near to the magnet then the north pole of magnet make the nearer part or end of the iron piece south pole & simultaneously other part of iron becomes north pole . Similarly if south pole of the magnet interacts with iron piece then that end/part becomes north pole & other end becomes north pole . Now this iron piece has north & south pole .So iron piece is now converted into magnet which can attract other iron pieces in similar way as explained before .
How can a magnet attract a piece of iron that is not magnet?
Iron is a magnetic material, it conducts metal.
Can a magnet attract to a demagnetized iron rod?
Yes. In this case, the magnet will induce magnetism in the iron, which is originally unmagnetized. Once the magnet is removed, the iron may return to an unmagnetized state; unless the magnetic field near the piece of iron is very strong.
Single touch method of making magnet?
A piece of any magnetic material, like iron or steel (a nail, knitting needle, bolt etc.) is take and placed on a bench or a table. A bar magnet is brought close to the magnetic material (say an iron piece AB). One end of the bar magnet is stroked against it, moving from end A to end B of the iron piece. When the bar reached end B, it is lifted and the stroke is repeated from A to end B. This procedure is repeated several times, keeping two things in mind: (a) The same pole of the bar magnet should be used every time (b) Strokes should be in the same direction By stroking the iron piece with the north pole of the bar magnet, end A becomes the North Pole, and end B the South Pole. If you bring the South Pole of any magnet close to end A now, what will you observe? You will observe that the two attract, which simply proves that end A acquires the North Pole.
Do magnets attract lightning?
Nothing attracts lightning, unless the lightning can get to the ground easier through that thing than it can through the air. A magnet doesn't attract lightning unless it's stuck in the ground, wired to the ground, or held by a nice moist squishy human being who's standing on the ground. The same goes for any piece of metal, whether or not it's a magnet.

Do opposite ends of a magnet attract or repel?
Then you will end up with two magnets, each half will be a new magnet, with both a north and a south pole. But the magnet will be weaker.
Will a strong magnet attract a piece of copper?
no it wont because copper is not a type of magnet even though it is a metal
How can a magnet attract a piece of iron that is not magnet?
Iron is a magnetic material, it conducts metal.
When you break the magnet then why they repls?
The magnetism of a permanent magnet is caused by the magnetic alignement of individual atoms in the crystal structure of the ferromagnetic material. You can break a magnet into thousands of pieces and each tiny piece is a magnet with north and south poles. Each piece will attract or repel any of the other pieces depending on how they are oriented to one another.
How can you figure out if a piece of metal is iron or aluminum?
Hold a magnet against it. magnets attract iron.
How can you tell if a piece of iron is magnetized or neutral?
If the piece of metal is a magnet it will attract another piece of iron. You should be able to feel this attraction as the two become very close. It's magnetic field can be "seen"( that is the effect) by placing iron filings on a piece of glass and place the magnet beneath the glass. Otherwise it is not a magnet.
How would you distinguish between soft iron a piece of copper and a magnet?
The soft iron and magnet will attract each other - the copper will not be attracted to either of the other two.
Would a North Pole attract a piece of steel?
Doubt it because the piece of steel is not magnetized.
What is it called when a pen is on a piece of paper and a magnet is under it and the pen moves in the same direction as the magnet?
This is called magnetism. metals in the pen attract the negative and positive charges in the magnets.
How could you find the North Pole of magnet?
Suspend the magnet on a string at its CG, so it balances. The end that points north is its north pole.Alternative AnswerUse a compass. It will be attracted to the magnet's south pole.
Does a south pole attract a piece of unmagnitised steel?
Only if that piece of steel is the north pole of a compass. In short the steel has to be magnetized, and it has to be able to move. A bar magnet resting on the ground would not move because there is too much friction and the force of the magnetic pole is relatively weak. Though apparently if you suspend a bar magnet by a piece of string, it will align itself to the poles.
