Question

A nail gets magnetized when kept close to a magnet.Why?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

• Because The presence of the nearby north pole rearranges the magnetic domains inside the steel so that their south poles all point toward the north pole of the permanent magnet. As a result, the other end of the nail becomes a north pole.

Answer 2

Answer:

In unmagnetized materials the domains are randomly aligned in different directions and cancel each other out. In a magnet all the domain are oriented in the same direction. In the case of a nail, the domains can be aligned in the same direction causing the nail to become magnetic
