Graphics can't be shown on Answers.com. Take a large iron nail (or several nails, 6 inches long). Wrap several layers of thinly insulated wire round the nail(s), and connect the bared ends of the wire to the positive and negative terminals of a 9 volt battery. As the electrical current is sent through the coiled wire, the iron nail(s) becomes electro-magnetised and will attract metal. Turn the current off, and the metal will drop off, for the nail(s) are no longer magnetised.

How an iron rod can be magnetised using the electrical method?
An iron rod can be magnetized using the electrical method by wrapping a wire around the rod and passing an electric current through the wire. This creates a magnetic field around the rod, aligning the magnetic domains within the iron to become magnetized. The strength of the magnetic field can be controlled by changing the amount of current flowing through the wire.
What do magnets exert on an iron rod?
Magnets exert a magnetic force on an iron rod, causing the iron to become magnetized and attract or repel other nearby magnetic objects. This force is a result of the alignment of the magnetic domains within the iron, creating a net magnetic field.
Which metals can be magnetized?
IRON OXIDE
What happens if you bring two iron nails close to each other?
Unless one or both iron nails are magnetized, then nothing will happen. If one nail is magnetized, then the other nail will be attracted to the magnetized nail.
What is the final substance when iron is magnetized?
The final substance when iron is magnetized remains as iron. Magnetization does not change the fundamental composition of the iron material, but rather aligns the magnetic domains within the iron to create a magnetic field.
If your are given three iron rods how would you know which one is not magnetized?
The not magnetized rod will be attracted by both of the magnetized rods.

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.

Will iron stick to the south or north of a magnet?
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).
Strongest element that can be magnetized?
iron
What is capable being magnetized?
iron
Which metals can be magnetized?
IRON OXIDE
Can iron be magnetised?
Yes, iron can be magnetized. When exposed to a magnetic field, the magnetic domains in iron align to create a magnetic field of its own. This causes iron to exhibit magnetic properties.
Why iron is magnetized?
Iron is magnetic because of polar molecular alignment.
What is iron rod?

What is present in metals that allows it to be magnetized?
Iron
