Attracting Iron Nail with Magnet

Iron Nail and Magnet Experiment

When an iron nail is placed close to a magnet, it will move towards the magnet. This phenomenon is due to the magnetic field produced by the magnet, which attracts ferromagnetic materials like iron. The iron nail itself becomes temporarily magnetized when it is near the magnet, causing it to move and align with the magnetic field.

This experiment demonstrates the basic principle of magnetic attraction and how magnets can affect nearby objects. By observing the movement of the iron nail towards the magnet, we can better understand the behavior of magnetic fields and the interactions between magnets and ferromagnetic materials.

Overall, placing an iron nail close to a magnet results in the nail moving towards the magnet, showing the power of magnetic attraction.
