Explanation:
Soft iron is a good temporary magnet. A steel nail will retain a lot of its magnetism once the current in the coil is switched off. Iron filings are chips of soft iron which become temporary magnets when in a magnetic field, and so they line up north to south indicating the direction of the magnetic field.
