Question

Give a step-by-step explanation, using both words and pictures, of how a permanent magnet can pick up a piece of non-magnetized iron

Short answer

The piece of iron is magnetized due to permanent magnetic and they will attract each other .

Step-by-step solution

Given information

We have given,

Permanent magnetic peaks the iron pieces.

we have to find out the how it can peak.

Simplify

• Before iron enter in the outer magnetic field, it also have some magnetic domain which is random oriented.
• When iron will come near the magnetic field , the domains begin to align in the direction of magnetic field.
• which makes the iron magnetized as well. It is creates attraction between the two magnetized objects.
