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.
What does a magnet attact?
a magnet attracts metal or steel ( this is from nick prager). And also iron.
How do magnets stick to iron shavings?
The iron shavings get temporarily magnetized, due to the influence of the magnet. Thus, you have two magnets attracting each other - the original magnet, and a piece of iron shaving.
What are the steps to separate iron filings sand and salt?
Hold a magnet over it and the iron will fly out of the salt and stick to it, and the salt will stay there.
What makes a magnet magnetic?
How Magnets WorkAlignment of the outer valence electron orbitals in iron. Every atom in iron has a north side and a south side. If they are all aligned, the entire piece of metal will have a north side and a south side, and it is therefore magnetic. The outer orbitals have only one electron and their motion in the circular path gives rise to a central force through the center of the orbital whose direction is based to the right hand curve rule. And its this force that either expels or attracts a magnet towards other iron materials. Note: polarity of magnetic dipoles is described as north and south. polarity of electric dipoles is +/-.
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.

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.
