You would succeed in making a simple electro-magnet that uses the copper wire as a conducter for the elctricity that comes from the battery,the nail on coming in contact with the wire which is wrapped around it harnesses the elecric power being provided by the battery via the copper wire and an magnetic field around the nail is created, hence the name electro-magnet!

What is an electricity magnet?

An electromagnet is a device that produces a magnetic field with the use of DC electricity. A simple electromagnet has a coil of wire wrapped around an iron core. A simple experiment would be to wrap a copper wire around an iron nail then connect both ends of the wire to a small battery. You will notice the nail is magnetized as long as the battery is connected.
