Typically you can magnetize iron or steel by exposing it to a strong magnetic field. Common "ceramic" magnets may not be strong enough, but you may need a strong rare earth magnet or a strong electro magnet.

What is the difference between a weakly magnetised nail and a strongly magnetised nail?

The strong magnetised nail will pick up more paper clips than the weak magnetised nail.That is because the strong magnetised nail is getting more strength and that means that the weak magnetised nail is getting less strength.in a steel nail there are these things called domains, in a weakly magnetised nail some of them will be pointing north, south, east and west, but however in a strongly magnetised nail all the domains will point to north.


Is there a limit to how strongly magnetised an iron nail can get?

Yes, every material has its limit in this respect.


What happens when a magnetic material is magnetised?

When a magnetic material is magnetized, its magnetic domains align in a specific direction, creating a net magnetic field within the material. This alignment results in the material becoming capable of attracting or repelling other magnetic materials.


Which has more force of attraction an iron nail a piece of chalk and a rubber band?

The iron nail has the greatest force of attraction due to its magnetic properties, followed by the piece of chalk which has minimal attraction, and the rubber band has the least as it is non-magnetic and non-conductive.


If you have a a magnet stuck to the nail then a paper clip stuck to the nail then you take the magnet away and the nail in the paper clip are still together why did that happen?

The magnet induced magnetic properties in the nail and the paper clip, causing them to attract each other. When the magnet was removed, the induced magnetism in the nail and paper clip allowed them to remain attracted to each other.

A Weakly magnetised nail will pick up less paper clips then a highly magnetised nail, Hope That Helps:)

What is the steps of making non-magnetic materials to magnetic materials?

rub a magnet on it in the same way but the material has to be magnetised :)


How does banging a steel nail reduce magnetisation?

By banging a nail it causes all the tiny domains to face different directions so you end up with a non-magnetised nail.


How does a non magnetic material behave when a magnet is placed near?

A non-magnetic material will not be attracted to a magnet and will not exhibit any magnetic properties. It will not stick to the magnet or experience any noticeable changes in its behavior when the magnet is placed near it.


Is there a limit to how strongly magnetised an iron nail can get?

Yes, every material has its limit in this respect.


What happens when you hammer a magnetised nail?

Hammering a magnetized nail can disrupt its magnetic alignment, causing it to lose its magnetization. The force and impact from the hammer can cause the magnetic domains within the nail to realign randomly, leading to the loss of the nail's magnetic properties.


What can be magnetised?

ferro magnetic substances can be magnetised. but it is not necessary that all the Ferro magnetic substances can be permanently magnetised. it depends on the alignment of domains in the substance.for example wrought iron can be magnetised permanently but soft iron can only be magnetised temporarily(Electro Magnets).

When a magnet touch an iron nail does the nail becomes a temporary magnet?

The magnetic field would propagate through the material and extend itself for the length of the magnetic material in contact. As long as there is contact there is no pole present. When contact is broken the pole would be the opposite to the pole it was in contact with
