You can make a magnet three ways:No1. Get a metal rod and wrap some Insulated copper wire around it. You can use some other wires but it might not work as well. Make sure the wire isn't too thick. Wrap the wire 50+ times. Connect the two ends of the wire to a battery. Don't connect it to a strong power source as it will get very hot. I connected mine to a 1.5 volt battery and it could lift up my scissors then drop them again.(Note: The iron rod now has become a weak permanent magnet. The more current you add to it the more stronger it will be and the longer you have the battery on the stronger it will be.. Also, don't drop it as it will lose it's magnetic properties.)No2. Get a magnet. The stronger the better. Rub one end only of the magnet up a piece of metal then when you get to the end take the magnet off the metal and take it back to the start making sure the magnet doesn't touch the metal. I don't really like this method as it takes a long time to get the metal to pick up anything decent.No3. Get a magnet and let it stick to a piece of metal. The piece of metal will be weak but enough to make the needle on a compass move.

A magnet is typically made by exposing a material like iron or steel to a magnetic field. This can align the magnetic domains within the material, creating a permanent magnet. Other methods include stroking a magnet along the material or subjecting it to high temperatures.

How can you make a magnet stick to aluminum?

You cannot make a magnet stick directly to aluminum because aluminum is not magnetic. However, you can make a magnet stick to aluminum by placing a magnetic material, such as iron, in between the magnet and the aluminum surface.

Where you get magnet?

To get a magnet.Magnets are available in nature.You can make a magnet by tying a piece of iron to a strong magnet for some time.You can also get a magnet by making an Electo-magnet or solenoid.


Why the iron can make the magnet move?

Because anything that has iron is attracted to magnet so whether its not fully an iron as long as it has iron in it, it can make the magnet move or attract it

How do you make a magnet by stroking?

To make a magnet by stroking, you can rub a piece of iron or steel with an existing magnet in the same direction multiple times. This process aligns the magnetic domains within the material, creating a magnetic field in the iron or steel.


How do you make a powerful magnet?

To make a powerful magnet, use a strong magnetic material like neodymium. Shape it into a magnet by applying a magnetic field while it cools down. Finally, the magnet can be magnetized by rubbing it against a magnet or by exposing it to an electrical current.
