Yes, a north pole magnet will attract a piece of unmagnetized steel. This occurs because the magnetic field of the magnet induces a temporary magnetization in the steel, aligning its domains and creating a magnetic attraction. The unmagnetized steel becomes a weak magnet itself, allowing it to be pulled towards the magnet.
Only if that piece of steel is the north pole of a compass. In short the steel has to be magnetized, and it has to be able to move. A bar magnet resting on the ground would not move because there is too much friction and the force of the magnetic pole is relatively weak. Though apparently if you suspend a bar magnet by a piece of string, it will align itself to the poles.
Yes, steel can be magnetized and will attract to a south pole magnet due to its ferromagnetic properties. When a steel material is in close proximity to a magnet, the magnetic domains within the steel align with the external magnetic field, leading to attraction between the two.
Yes, a magnet can pick up steel BBs because steel contains iron, which is a magnetic material. The magnet will attract the steel BBs due to their magnetic properties.
A piece of paper is not magnetic, so it does not interact with the magnetic field produced by the magnet. The magnet can only attract materials that are magnetic or contain magnetic elements, like iron or steel.
magnets attract steel why then is a compass needle affected by a pice of steel if the steel is not magnetised
Only by inducing a magnetic field within the "unmagnetised steel".
That depends on the steel. If it is a ferrous steel the magnet (either North or South) will attract it - If it is a a stainless steel that is austenitic steel it will not.

A strong magnet will attract steel due to its ferromagnetic properties, while it will not attract brass as it is not a ferromagnetic material.
no it wont because copper is not a type of magnet even though it is a metal
what is the diffrence between a magnetised nail and a unmagnetised nail
Yes, steel can be magnetized and will attract to a south pole magnet due to its ferromagnetic properties. When a steel material is in close proximity to a magnet, the magnetic domains within the steel align with the external magnetic field, leading to attraction between the two.
magnets only attract iron and steel
Yes.
A scrap heap magnet attracts steel - but not steel with a high chromium or nickel content
