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.

How do you make a magnet without a magnet?
You can rub a permanent magnet against something else that can be magnetized, like a paper clip.
How does rubbing a magnet along an iron nail create a temporary magnet?
No. It only needs to pass through a magnetic field to become magnetized. It does not need to come into physical contact with the magnet producing that field. This is because the process of magnetization has to do with electromagnetic induction rather than physical contact. You can perform a simple experiment at home to prove this point. You'll need a bar magnet, a paper clip, and a thin sheet of paper. Place the paper between the magnet and the clip. Rub the clip against the paper on top of the magnet, and observe that the clip will still become magnetized even though it is not in physical contact with the magnet.
How do you make a temporary magnet without electricity?
you can wrap a wire around a metal object and attach both ends of the wire to the battery and you metal will be magnetisedfor an amount of time.
Making a magnet with another magnet?
if you have a magnet and a magnetic matereal, rub the magnet from one end of it to the other. do this several times and it will eventualy be a magnet.
How do you use rub on paper?
i had it and my sister did it you put the water on the rub-on sheet and you stick it on the paper you want to rub it on and rub it with the stick
What happens when you rub a nail with a magnet?
Rubbing a nail with a magnet will align some of the magnetic domains in the nail. This will have the effect of making the nail into a magnet. The nail won't be a strong magnet, but it will come away with some residual magnetism. Suggestion: try a simple experiment with a nail and a magnet and some small paper clips to see if this works.
How can you create imagenetion?
Rub a magnet with another metal...
What are ways to magnetize something?
Rub it with a magnet if it is metallic.
When you rub a magnet with metal what happens to the metal object?
the metal object becomes a temporary magnet
How do you remagnitize a magnet?
You can remagnetize a magnet by rubbing a good magnet along the bad one. Do this a few times. Be sure to rub the magnet in only one direction.
How do I magnetize a metallic surface?
Rub the metallic surface with a magnet.
How do you create magnets?
rub metal in one direction repeatadly on a magnet
