If it's made of a ferromagnetic material, sure. Otherwise, no, but a wire carrying a current will have a magnetic field. This is the whole concept behind electromagnets.

Do bar magnets use conductive wire and electricity to create a magnetic field?

Bar magnets are already magnetized. They don't need to add wire and electricity.


What happens if you You wrap a wire around a piece of iron. and slowly increase the strength of an electric current flowing through the wire?

As the electric current flowing through the wire increases, the iron core becomes magnetized. The increasing current creates a magnetic field around the wire, which induces the iron core to also become magnetized. This process creates an electromagnet, which can attract magnetic materials or exert a magnetic influence.


How an iron rod can be magnetised using the electrical method?

An iron rod can be magnetized using the electrical method by wrapping a wire around the rod and passing an electric current through the wire. This creates a magnetic field around the rod, aligning the magnetic domains within the iron to become magnetized. The strength of the magnetic field can be controlled by changing the amount of current flowing through the wire.


How are electromagnets formed?

Electromagnets are formed by wrapping a coil of wire around a ferromagnetic core (such as iron) and passing an electric current through the wire. The electric current creates a magnetic field around the coil, inducing the core to become magnetized. This forms a temporary magnet that can attract or repel other magnetic objects.

Is copper magnetized?

No, copper is not naturally magnetized.


Which type of magnet can easily be magnetized and demagnetized?

An electronic magnet is by far the easiest because you magnetize one by hitting a button (or for home made magnets) connecting a wire, and demagnetizing by hitting the button again or disconnecting the wire.


If your are given three iron rods how would you know which one is not magnetized?

The not magnetized rod will be attracted by both of the magnetized rods.
