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.
You can rub a permanent magnet against something else that can be magnetized, like a paper clip.
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.
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.
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
Rub a magnet with another metal...
You can make a temporary magnet by rubbing a piece of iron or steel with a permanent magnet. This aligns the domains in the material, creating a magnetic field. However, this magnetism will fade over time as the domains become disorganized again.
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.
To find the north side of a magnet without a compass, you can use the floating needle method. Rub a needle on a magnet and place it on a small piece of paper floating in water. The needle will align itself with the Earth's magnetic field, pointing north.
To make a temporary magnet, you can rub a piece of iron or steel with a permanent magnet. This process aligns the magnetic domains in the material, creating a temporary magnetic field. To enhance the temporary magnetism, you can increase the number of times you rub the material with the permanent magnet.
When you rub a magnet with metal, the metal object becomes temporarily magnetized. This happens because the atoms in the metal align with the magnetic field of the magnet. However, once the magnet is removed, the metal object loses its magnetism.
Rub the metallic surface with a magnet.
rub metal in one direction repeatadly on a magnet
