Magnetism and Temporary Magnets

The video tutorial demonstrates how to create a temporary magnet using an iron nail and a bar magnet. Initially, the iron nail does not attract iron fillings, indicating it lacks magnetic properties. By rubbing the nail with a bar magnet, it temporarily gains magnetic properties and attracts iron fillings. This process illustrates how a temporary magnet can be made by rubbing an object with a magnet.

What materials are required to create a temporary magnet in this activity?

• A copper wire, a battery, and a light bulb

• A wooden stick, a rubber band, and a piece of cloth

• A bar magnet, a flat surface, some iron fillings, and an iron nail

• A plastic rod, a glass of water, and a piece of paper

What happens when the iron nail is brought near the iron fillings initially?

• The iron nail attracts the iron fillings

• The iron nail repels the iron fillings

• The iron fillings stick to the flat surface

• The iron nail does not affect the iron fillings

What is the purpose of rubbing the iron nail with a bar magnet?

• To temporarily magnetize the iron nail

• To make the iron nail heavier

• To make the iron nail rust

• To change the color of the iron nail

After rubbing the iron nail with a bar magnet, what change is observed?

• The iron nail attracts the iron fillings

• The iron nail breaks into pieces

• The iron nail changes color

• The iron nail becomes lighter

What does the activity demonstrate about the nature of magnetism?

• Magnetism is a permanent property of all metals

• Magnetism can be temporarily induced in certain materials

• Magnetism cannot be transferred between objects

• Magnetism is only present in natural magnets

Which of the following is NOT a step in creating a temporary magnet in this activity?

• Heating the iron nail

• Rubbing the iron nail with a bar magnet

• Observing the attraction of iron fillings

• Bringing the iron nail near iron fillings
