When a ferromagnetic substance is magnetized, the magnetic dipole moments of the atoms in the material line up in one direction and are able to produce a net magnetic field. This has to do with iron's elctron configuration on the atomic level.

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.

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.


If you hit a magnetized nail with a hammer what will happen?

The electrons will fall out of line, demagnetizing the nail.
