Why does a magnet attract a steel nail

Physics
1 answer:
SVEN [57.7K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The nail will stick to the bar magnet because it will become magnetized, and it's metal. 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.Magnets attract iron due to the influence of their magnetic field upon the iron. ... When exposed to the magnetic field, the atoms begin to align their electrons with the flow of the magnetic field, which makes the iron magnetized as well. This, in turn, creates an attraction between the two magnetized objects.

ipn [44]

<span>As long as both mirrors are set at 45% and the same size then you see the same as is reflected in the upper mirror </span>

<span>Put a lens in the middle of the tube </span>

<span>? </span>

<span>We use mirrors when we drive cars ect </span>

<span>Normally they are set across from a concealed entrance or one that is hard to see both ways like the inside of a hairpin bend. Sometimes only to help in one direction. </span>

<span>Sonar which is sound waves that are sent out at a set rate then reflected by objects. The longer the gap between the two the further away it is, They still use periscopes to target boats though. </span>

<span>The periscope can only reflect what is outside so if you could see it because there is enough light then Yes. If you could not see it because it is dark then No unless you get into Info-Red light or Image Intensifying systems as well </span>
