It will stick to either pole, providede that the iron is not magnetized and that it is not above the Curie temperature (the temperature above which iron can no longer be magnetized, named after Marie and Pierre Curie).

Do you need a north or south magnet to stick to the fridge?

There are not separate north and south magnets; each magnet has both a north end and a south end. These can't be separated. Putting a magnet against a normal (non-magnetized) piece of iron, like the refrigerator, works no matter in what direction (north or south) you put it; the magnetism of the magnet will temporarily induce magnetism in the refrigerator in this case.


Why does iron attract to magnet?

Magnet are objects which have an electromagnetic force. It attracts iron and other metals which have the property of being induced by a magnets effect and repels other magnets.


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 .


What does a magnet attact?

a magnet attracts metal or steel ( this is from nick prager). And also iron.


What happens when you sprinkle iron fillings near a magnet?

When iron fillings are sprinkled near a magnet, they will be attracted to the magnet and align themselves along the magnetic field lines. This occurs because the iron fillings are small magnetic dipoles with north and south poles that align with the magnetic field of the magnet.


Which type of nail iron or copper would stick to magnet?

The iron nail would stick to a magnet. Copper is not attracted to magnets.


Do your fingers stick to a magnet?

No, your fingers cannot stick to a magnet. Only iron or steel objects will stick to a magnet. Your fingers do not have those materials, so it will not stick to a magnet.


What is the tendency of iron filings concentrates on the north and south poles?

becouse at north &south poles the pole strength is more than other part of bar magnet so attraction is also more at poles Theoretically, magnet's lines of force - as evinced by the iron filings - encompases all universe, but, nonetheless, they meet together at the magnet's poles


Does a magnet stick to iron pyrite?

It is ferrous thus the answer is YES


Will iron stick to a magnet?

Yes.


Does an iron nail stick to a magnet?

Yes.


Does south and iron attract or repel?

South and iron attract each other. The south pole of a magnet attracts the north-seeking pole of iron, which is why a compass needle, often made of iron, aligns with the Earth's magnetic field pointing towards the North Pole.
