Any one know? I think becayse when you rub the magnet over the metal it causes something to align up, aligning up the poles? Ah i duno
When a magnet is rubbed over iron, it creates a magnetic field that aligns the electrons in the iron atoms in the same direction. This results in the iron becoming magnetized with its own magnetic field.
Yes, the strength of the magnet can affect how well the iron becomes magnetized. A stronger magnet will produce a stronger magnetic field, leading to a more pronounced magnetization of the iron.
The iron will become magnetized almost immediately after rubbing a magnet over it. However, the strength of the magnetization may increase over time as more electrons in the iron atoms align with the magnetic field.
Yes, any type of magnet can be used to magnetize iron. However, stronger magnets will produce a more significant magnetization in the iron.
No, rubbing a magnet over iron will not make it a permanent magnet. The iron will only remain magnetized as long as the magnet is in contact with it. Once the magnet is removed, the iron will lose its magnetization over time.
