You can rub a magnet along the metal in one direction for a bunch of times (the more the better), and that will magnetize it to some degree, but its not permanent and will demagnetize if it is hit hard with something.

Also, to magnetise something like a nail, if you point one end north, and hit the other end with a hammer it should weakly magnetise it. Unfortunately it doesn't work every time. By creating an electromagnetic field using electricity and then taking a ferromagnetic material and placing it in that field, the material will pick up some of the magnetism. And for more effect, create a bigger field. Plus, if the material to be magnetized is heated really hot (above its Curie point, TC) and then put in the field and then allowed to cool while in the field, it will reallypick up the magnetism! This is how commercial permanent magnets are usually made.

Does gold magnetize?

Gold is not magnetic. It is a non-magnetic material, meaning it does not have magnetic properties and cannot be magnetized.


Can gold be magnetize?

No, gold cannot be magnetized because it is a non-magnetic material. Gold is a diamagnetic material, which means it is repelled by magnetic fields.


Does copper magnetize?

Copper is not a magnetic material and does not magnetize easily.


Is a soil magnetic material or a non magnetic material?

it generally depends on the soil content~if it is rich in iron or some other magnetic metals it will magnetize but if it don't it won't..soil is non-magnetic but iron filings in it are magnetic


What is the steps of making non magnetic materials to magnetic materials?

To magnetize a nonmagnetic object, you have to align the electronegative poles within the material. To do this you can strike the material violently, you can induce a large voltage, or you can continuously stroke the material in one direction with a magnet.


How can I magnetize something?

To magnetize something, you can rub a magnet along the object in the same direction multiple times. This will align the magnetic domains within the material, making it magnetic.


What is magnetic hardness?

Magnetic hardness refers to the resistance of a material to becoming magnetized. A material with high magnetic hardness will have difficulty becoming magnetized or demagnetized, while a material with low magnetic hardness will magnetize easily. This property is important in applications where a stable magnetic field is required.


How can you magnetize an object?

If the material can be magnetized e.g Iron, cobalt etc. then you take a magnet and stroke your material over and over again in the same direction until magnetized or you can expose it to a strong magnetic field (often an electromagnet), then it will magnetize the object. The force required to magnetize an object is usually greater than can be achieved solely with a magnet made from a similar material.


How do you permanently magnetize something?

To permanently magnetize something, you can expose it to a strong magnetic field or stroke it repeatedly with a magnet in the same direction. This aligns the magnetic domains within the material, creating a permanent magnet.


How do you magnetize something made of ironcobalt or nickle?

You can magnetize something made of iron, cobalt, or nickel by exposing it to a magnetic field. This can be done by using a strong permanent magnet or by passing an electric current through the material. The magnetic domains within the material align to create a magnetic field, magnetizing the object.


What role is played by molecular magnets to magnetize and demagnetize bodies?

The relative coercitivity of a material helps to magnetize and demagnetised a substance. If the coercitivity id low then the material can be easily demagnetized and vice versa. A substance can be magnetized by creating magnetic filed of opposite charges and demagnetized by creating same filed of charges.


How do you magnetize a magnet?

To magnetize a magnet, you can rub it against another magnet in the same direction multiple times. Alternatively, you can expose the magnet to a strong magnetic field in the same direction. This will align the magnetic domains within the material and make it magnetic.
