To start with we can suspend it freely by tying with a torsion less thread. If the axis of the rod always stands along north-south direction then we can conclude that the rod is a magnet.

Moreover as we bring pins or nails then they will be attracted by the rod. This confirms that the rod is magnetic.

How can you determine the magnet if you have one brass rod and another magnet in space?

You can determine if the brass rod is a magnet by placing the magnet near the brass rod. If the brass rod is attracted to the magnet or if it shows magnetism when placed in a magnetic field, then it is likely a magnet. If there is no attraction or magnetism shown, then the brass rod is not a magnet.

You are in a room where there are no objects except for two iron rods Only one of them is a magnet How can you identify the magnet?

Take a rod and touch with its end the middle of the second rod. If they move closer to one another, then you have a magnet in your hand. The real magnet has a magnetic field at its poles, but not in its center. So, as mentioned earlier, if you take the iron bar and touch its tip to the magnet's center the iron bar will not be attracted. This assumes that the magnet's poles are at its ends. There's no way you can identify which one is the magnet, 'cause there's no magnet in the room, only two iron rods. Tie your shirt or belt or sock etc. in the centre of rod and dangle it loosely and the magnet should point North quicker and more obvious than the non active rod
