You have two identical bars of iron – except that one is a magnet. Without using any piece of apparatus, or any other object, how can you find out which is which?

still exremly confused haven't seen a forum which can give me an answer on the many forums i have posted on
 
Physics news on Phys.org
What's the point of just giving you the answer? Have you given it any thought?

You already have a thread open on this topic. Post your ideas there.
