Connect a long, thin piece of copper wire to the ends of your battery. (Long and thin so it won't burn up before you use it.)
Then wave the nail back and forth fast many time very very near the wire. Two things happen.
1. Electricity is generated in the nail
2. The iron in the nail slowly takes on magnetism
You get better result if your wind many many turns of copper wire around, say, a pencil, so you have a coil, and wave the nail back forth near the coil.
Also, you can point a nail north, and tap on it with a hammer, or something, and the iron in the nail eventually will become magnetized. This happens to ships at sea, and they sometimes have to be deGuassed in a huge drydock. DeGuassing is a method to remove magetism.
You have permission do so under international law.
Loop the coiled wire around the nail and run a current through the wire.
With with an iron nail a battery and wire coils you can make and electromagnet.
Yes
However, if you bring a magnet near a piece of iron, such as a nail,and the paperclip. If the paperclip does not fall then the magnetic field has the iron nail. The result is a temporary magnet called an 'electromagnet'. The magnets either stick together or are suspended in midair
yes it can.
it wouldn't be magnet to a aluminum nail because the aluminum is not a way of magnet and a steel nail would because steel is a way of magnet.
What happens if vary/change the distance between the magnet and the nail/s?
Yes
Yes, you will create a temporary magnet. EX: if you put and nail next to an iron magnet, the nail will be temporarly magnetic.
which end of a magnet will pick up an iron nail?
A magnetic field.
If we take a steel nail and tap it with a magnet in the same way a bunch of times, the magnet will align some of the magnetic domains in the nail. The nail will then have become a permanent magnet. The magnetic strength of the nail will not be great like the magnet that created it, but it will be present and will be permanent. The nail could then be used to pick up iron filings just as the magnet could be used to do that.
First, you get a long wire (12 inches). Then, you get a nail and wrap the wire around the nail, but leave at least 1 inch of wire on each side. The use the ends of the wire and put it on the big magnet and it will pick up magnetic things.
However, if you bring a magnet near a piece of iron, such as a nail,and the paperclip. If the paperclip does not fall then the magnetic field has the iron nail. The result is a temporary magnet called an 'electromagnet'. The magnets either stick together or are suspended in midair
yes it can.
By making the magnetic field around it a negative charge
By making the magnetic field around it a negative charge
what kind of magnet is a magnetized nail
Anything that is attracted to a permanent magnet will be attracted to (sticks to) a temporary magnet.
