Question

You are given an iron strip. How will you make it into a magnet?

Answer 1

Magnet:

1. A magnet is a material that generates a magnetic field.
2. Place the iron strip on a flat surface. One pole of such a bar magnet should be placed at one end of such an iron strip. Move the bar magnet anywhere along the lengths of the iron strip, beginning at one end and ending at the other.
3. Afterward, raise the magnet as well as return the pole to the beginning location before continuing in the same way. If you continue this procedure a minimum of $30-40$ times, this same iron strip would transform into a bar magnet containing two poles.

Therefore, rubbing the magnet on the iron strip in the same direction will introduce the magnetic properties in the iron strip.
