For a nail to be magnetized, it must be exposed to a strong magnetic field, which aligns the magnetic domains within the material. This alignment can occur through direct contact with a magnet, rubbing the nail with a magnet, or placing it in a solenoid with an electric current. Once the domains are aligned, the nail retains its magnetism until it is demagnetized by heat, impact, or a reverse magnetic field.

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.
If a nail is made of steel will it be magnetized why?
Yes, if a nail is made of steel, it will will not be magnetized unless it is magnetized by a magnet by being hit.
Do a steel nail and a magnet stick together?
A steel nail and a magnet can stick together because steel is a ferromagnetic material. This means that it can be magnetized and will be attracted to a magnet. When a magnet is brought close to a steel nail, the magnetic field can cause the nail to become magnetized, leading to attraction. However, if the nail is not magnetized or if the magnet is too weak, they may not stick together.
What is the difference between a strongly magnetized nail and a weakly magnetized nail?
In an un-magnetised nail there are tiny domains, each in themselves would be a little magnet, however, in a magnetized steel nail the magnetic "domains" tend to be lined up in the same direction. A domain is a tiny magnet because electrons are spinning with the same orientation. Refer to the related link in the Related Links section below for more details.
What does the compass needles indicate about the iron nail shown below in figure 6?
Without the specific figure to refer to, I can provide a general answer. Compass needles will align themselves along the magnetic field lines of a magnet. If the iron nail is magnetized, the compass needles will point towards the ends of the nail, indicating the presence of a magnetic field. If the nail is not magnetized, the compass needles will show no significant movement around it.
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.
If you hit a magnetized nail with a hammer what will happen?
The electrons will fall out of line, demagnetizing the nail.
What happens if you bring two iron nails close to( or touching)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 happens if you bring two iron nails close to(or touching) 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 happens if you bring two iron nails close to or touching each other?
Like poles will repel.Unlike poles will attract.
If a nail is made of steel will it be magnetized why?
Yes, if a nail is made of steel, it will will not be magnetized unless it is magnetized by a magnet by being hit.
What kind of magnet is a magnetized nail?
A magnetized nail is a temporary magnet, known as an induced magnet. It becomes magnetized when it comes into contact with a permanent magnet, aligning its magnetic domains in the same direction. This temporary magnetism can be lost if the nail is no longer in contact with a permanent magnet.
What happens if you bring two iron nails close or touching 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.

Which would likely demagnetized a magnetized iron nail?
Dropping it on a hard surface
Diagram of iron nail being magnetized?
To magnetize an iron nail, align the nail along the magnetic field lines of a magnet and rub one end of the magnet against the iron nail in the same direction multiple times. This process will cause the domains in the iron nail to align in the direction of the magnetic field, creating a magnetized iron nail.
