Would two iron bars attract?

No, two iron bars would not attract each other under normal circumstances. Iron is a ferromagnetic material, meaning it can be magnetized, but two unmagnetized iron bars will not exhibit a magnetic attraction. However, if one or both bars are magnetized, they can attract or repel each other depending on their magnetic orientation.


The most common magnetic metal is?

Iron is the most common magnetic metal, possessing ferromagnetic properties that allow it to attract other materials containing iron.


What kind of magnet can attract steel and iron due to electricity?

An electromagnet can attract steel and iron due to electricity. When an electric current flows through the coil of wire in an electromagnet, it creates a magnetic field that can attract ferromagnetic materials like steel and iron. The strength of the magnetic field can be controlled by adjusting the amount of electric current flowing through the electromagnet.


What are examples of objects that can be attracted by magnet?

Objects with iron in them, such as steel and other alloys, are attracted to magnets.Ferromagnetic materials. Please see the related link.======================It can attract objects with Iron (Fe) in them.


What is the difference between iron and magnet?
