What is the force called that moves paper clips toward a magnet without the magnet touching the paper clips?
A magnetic force.
If a paper clip is rubbed in one direction against a strong magnet what does the magnet cause to occur in the paper clip?
Aligns the electrons in the same direction
What can happen when you rub a magnet on a paper clip?
A paper clip is made up of iron or steel. It consists of particles called domains which are randomly arranged. When a magnet is rubbed on a paper clip, the domains arrange themselves in one direction. Thus it gets magnetized and behaves as a magnet.
What is paper chromatograph?
Ascending paper chromatography is where a chromatogram rises, or ascends. The paper moves up because the solvent moves it in an upward direction.

What will happen to the paper clip when a sheet is placed between the bar magnet and the paper clip?
Magnetic filed of the bar magnet will penetrate a paper. Hence the clip will be attracted and stick to the magnet pressing the paper too to the magnet.
How come you can lift a paper clip with a magnet without touching it?
magnet attracts iron. paper clip made of iron magnet atrracts paper clip...
Can a magnet go through a sponge?
Yes. Absolutely yes. A magnet forms something called a 'magnetic field' you can expiriment and view this easily by taking a piece of paper and applying a thin layer of iron shavings, then put a magnet below the paper, you will see the iron shavings adhere to the magnetic field of the magnet.
WHICH IS MORE POWERFUL GRAVITY OR MAGNETISM?
Well, let's see. If I have a paper clip on a table and a magnet in my hand, and I slowly pass the magnet over the paper clip, the magnet in my hand is pulling the paper clip up with magnetism. If my magnet is close enough to the paper clip, the paper clip will jump up to the magnet ... even though the whole Earth is pulling it down with gravity.
When a piece of iron behaves like a magnet when it is touching a permanent magnet that is called?
The process by which a iron piece touching a permanent magnet behaves as a magnet as long as it maintains contact is called magnetic induction. not only does this work when the iron is physically touching the magnet but it works as long as the piece of iron remains under the influence of the magnet. A iron piece attracted to a magnet through a paper with out any physical contact will also behave as a magnet.
What does a magnent do to a paper clip?
The paper clip clings to the the magnet
Why the bar magnet attracts the paper clip with more force?
probably because the paper clip weighs less against the magnet
