Iron is a magnetic material, which means that it can be attracted by magnets. To make it become magnetic so as to attract other objects (i.e. to function as a magnet), the process of magnetic induction can be used. This can involve stroking the iron rod with a magnet several times (e.g. 20 times) in a fixed direction.

If an iron bar were inserted into the wire coil what would happen to the iron bar?
The iron bar would become more magnetic.
Why do magnets attract to iron but not paper?
Iron has magnetic domains, that tend to align when the iron is in a magnetic field. Many other materials don't have such magnetic domains.
When you placed the magnet next to the iron?
nothing will happen dumbazz because it isnt magnetic
How can an electric current cause an iron nail to become a temporary magnet?
By making the magnetic field around it a negative charge
Iron nail electromagnet why is it magnetic?
Iron nail is magnetic because it is made up of the element iron. The structure of an iron atom exhibit a unique magnetic behavior which is called ferromagnetism.
Is a matchstick magnetic?
No, they are made of wood or paper, and are not magnetic. An iron nail is attracted to a magnet, and can become magnetized.
Why does magnet attract?
The magnet induces magnetism in the iron - small magnetic regions in the iron become aligned, due to the magnetic field.
Why does iron become magnetised?
The magnet, in this case, will induce magnetism in the iron. The iron has lots of tiny areas that are magnetic, but normally point in random directions; placing a magnet nearby will allign those, and thus induce the magnetism.
What creates a magnetic force in objects such as iron and cobalt?
The alignment of the Domains in the metal cause it to become magnetic.
If an iron bar were inserted into the wire coil what would happen to the iron bar?
The iron bar would become more magnetic.
Are gasses magnetic?
There re no magnetic gasses. Even Iron when in a gaseous state is not magnetic because it has to be heated above the Curie temperature to become a gas.
Is iron a magnetic?
Yes, iron is magnetic.
What is the magnetic character for iron?
the answer is the iron of magnetic field so that it can cause magnetic field... iron.
Why can ships with iron hulls causes a compass to become unreliable?
Because the ships might go to different directions(maybe)
Which types of iron are not magnetic?
All iron is magnetic.
Why doesn't the iron in human bodies attract magnetic objects?
There are two types of iron: magnetic and non-magnetic iron. The iron in your body is the non-magnetic kind.
Is an iron hinge magnetic?
Everything made of iron is magnetic.
