The metal part of the scissors would be magnetised to mimic the North pole of a magnet. It may not last long as handling the scissors will reduce the magnetism over time.

What can happen when you rub a magnet on a paper clip?

A paper clip is made up of iron or steel. It consists of particles called domains which are randomly arranged. When a magnet is rubbed on a paper clip, the domains arrange themselves in one direction. Thus it gets magnetized and behaves as a magnet.


If a paper clip is rubbed in one direction against a strong magnet what does the magnet cause to occur in the paper clip?

The strong magnet will induce a temporary magnetism in the paperclip, aligning its magnetic domains in the same direction as the magnet. This effect is known as magnetic induction, and the paperclip will exhibit magnetic properties as long as the magnet is nearby.


Magnetism can sometimes be in an iron object by rubbing it with a magnet?

Yes, this process is known as magnetization. When an iron object is rubbed with a magnet, the domains within the iron align in the direction of the magnetic field created by the magnet, causing the iron object to become magnetized.


Why can droping a magnet can loose its magnetism?

When a mass(the magnet) falling with the potential energy of inertia strikes the ground, the Newtonian equal and opposite reaction occurs sending that potential energy backward through the mass(the magnet) as a kinetic shock wave that disrupts the... Ionic polarity? Subatomic spin? Oscillating relationships within the crystal lattice? Somebody help me here... An Iron bar rubbed in one direction with a magnet of any direction yields an Iron bar magnet of one direction. The direction you rub the magnet will be north and somehow all the atoms of the Iron lean that way. Here's the thing: The force of the shock wave is greater than the force of the magnetic alignment.


What will happen if you rubbed the surface of the newspaper?

if you rubbed it where there was ink, you would get a black mark.


What would happen is you rubbed a needle back and forth on a magnet?

Rubbing a needle back and forth on a magnet would align the magnetic domains within the needle, causing it to become magnetized. The needle would then exhibit magnetic properties and attract items such as paper clips or iron filings.


How can temporary magnets be formed by nails?

Temporary magnets can be formed by nails through the process of induction. When a nail is rubbed against a permanent magnet, the domains in the nail align in the direction of the magnetic field, creating a temporary magnet. Once the magnetic field is removed, the domains in the nail revert to their original random alignment.


How does iron become magnetic?

Iron is a magnetic material, which means that it can be attracted by magnets. To make it become magnetic so as to attract other objects (i.e. to function as a magnet), the process of magnetic induction can be used. This can involve stroking the iron rod with a magnet several times (e.g. 20 times) in a fixed direction.


If a bar of copper is brought near a magnet the copper bar will be what?

If a bar of copper is brought near a magnet and rubbed it will get magnetized and would behave like magnet. But this would be temporary and this property would wear after some days.


Give example of a temporary magnet?

when a magnet is hardly rubbed on a iron ,for some time it reacts as a magnet. An example of a temporary magnet is used in acar breakers yeard . A crane fitted with amagnet picks up a car and then the power to the magnet is cut and the car drops.


What happen when joe wasnt looking?

the man rubbed his leg and nodded at pip


What will happen if you rubbed your genitalia during menstruation?

Much the same as would happen at any other time, but possibly with more mess.
