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 could a apparatus be used to tell if a piece of iron itself was a magnet?

An apparatus to determine if a piece of iron is a magnet could consist of a small compass and a stand to hold the iron piece. By placing the compass near the iron, if the needle moves and aligns itself with the iron, it indicates that the iron is magnetized. Additionally, the apparatus could include a setup to test for attraction to other magnetic materials; if the iron piece attracts or repels them, it confirms that it is a magnet.

How could you use iron filings to tell which of the two bar magnets is stronger?

Iron filings can be used to map the magnetic fields on a magnet by putting pieces of irons on a piece of paper,pass the magnet under the paper,and the side which has more iron filling is the north pole and the side which has less iron filling is the south pole.

How can you tell if metal leaf electroscope is neutral or positive?

To determine if a metal leaf electroscope is neutral, bring a charged rod near the metal cap. If the metal leaves diverge, the electroscope is neutral. If the metal leaves collapse or diverge more, the electroscope is positively charged.

If you have two iron bars One of them is magnetized and the other is not How can you tell the difference without suspending them as compasses or using any other apparatus besides the bars?

Well, i think one is check the repulsion. Both the bars will repel only if both are magnetic. Checking whether it both attracts or not proves the wrong answer.


You bring two iron bars together and they attract each other. then turn one of the bars round an bring them together again they still attract each other what does this tell you about each of the bars?

The iron bars are magnetized, indicating they are ferromagnetic materials. This means they have their own magnetic field, allowing them to attract each other regardless of orientation.
