When you rub a pin with a magnet, the pin's domains align in the same direction as the magnetic field produced by the magnet. This alignment leads to the pin becoming magnetized, with its own north and south poles.

What is a way to make a homemade compass?

To make a homemade compass, you can magnetize a sewing needle by rubbing it against a magnet in the same direction several times. Then, float the needle on a small piece of cork in a bowl of water. The needle will align itself with the Earth's magnetic field, indicating north and south directions.


How does a magnet attract pins?

A magnet attracts pins because it creates a magnetic field around itself. This field exerts a force on the metal material in the pins, causing them to be attracted to the magnet. The pins are made of materials that can be magnetized, such as iron or steel, which allows them to be influenced by the magnetic field of the magnet.


Why does a pin attracted by a magnet move upwards and not downwards towards the earth's gravitational pull?

The force of attraction between the pin and the magnet is greater than the force of gravity acting on the pin. As a result, the pin moves upwards towards the magnet instead of being pulled downwards by gravity.


What is rubbing velocity at a pin joint?

it is the velocity of two rubbed pin joints in kinematic pairs.


Can a magnet have 3 poles?

Of course . You can make such a magnet easily using a safety pin. Take a safety pin and magnetize it using a permanent magnet. Then unfold it. The ends will have same poles and at the middle you will have the other. So you can have a magnet with three poles. Verify it using compass.


Will a steel drawing pin attract to a north pole magnet?

Yes, a steel drawing pin will be attracted to a north pole magnet because it is made of a ferromagnetic material (steel) that can be magnetized by the magnetic field of the magnet.


Explain why a magnet can attract pins but not matches?

A magnet is made of 'Soft' Iron. A pin has steel (iron) in it. A match does NOT have iron in it.


Can a safety pin become a temporary magnet?

Yes but not for very long.


How does a credit card machine work?

You put your card into the machine, the magnet recognizes the strip on the card and asks for the pin. The user enters the pin and then next paths are made.


How do you magnetize a dress maker's pin?

You can magnetize a dress making pin by stroking it in one direction with a permanent magnet. I have done it using a good quality fridge magnet. Dress making pins may become magnetized when they are dropped on a hard surface, for example a tiled floor.


Which part of a magnetic will repail a domestic pin?

If the pin is not initially magnetized, then it'll be attracted to either end of a magnet.If the pin is magnetized, then its north and south poles will each be repelled by thelike pole of any other magnet.


Which part of a magnetic will repail a domestic pin and which the part of repail the pin?

If the pin is not initially magnetized, then it'll be attracted to either end of a magnet.If the pin is magnetized, then its north and south poles will each be attracted to theopposite pole of any other magnet, and will be repelled by the like pole of any othermagnet.
