You dip a magnet into a box of iron nails. When you take it out, there are clumps of nails stick to the two ends of the magnet. Why is this???Why do the nails stick to the ends of the magnet?
Iron is a magnetic material. Therefore when u dip the magnet into a box of nails, they sick to the magnet. They cluster together mostly at the 2 ends because the magnetic field, due to which it attracts is strongest there,at the poles.Why do the nails stick to the ends of the magnet?
it is due to following two reasons
1)nails are made of substances like iron,and it is known that iron is magnetic substance therefore magnet attracts it
2)magnetic strength is maximum at poles of magnet
end of magnet has stronger magnetic field.
