How to Make Magnets
Permanent magnets are materials that generate magnetic fields from the internal structure of the material itself. Inside atoms and crystals, there are both electrons and nuclei. Both nuclei and electrons themselves act like small magnets, like rotating small pieces of electric charge, with magnetic fields inherent in the particles themselves. As electrons move around the nucleus, there is also a magnetic field created by the electron's orbit. Therefore, the magnetic field of a permanent magnet is the sum of the nuclear spin, the electron spin, and the orbit of the electron itself.
How to make a magnet:
We make magnets by exposing ferromagnetic metals like iron and nickel to a magnetic field. Also, when we heat these metals to a certain temperature, they become permanently magnetized.
In how to make a magnet, the easiest way is to make a paperclip magnet.
Gather Items - A simple makeshift magnet, such as paper clips and refrigerator magnets, can be made from a small piece of metal. Gather these items and a small piece of metal, such as an earring or a small nail, that you can use to check the magnetization of a magnetized paper clip.
Also, try to use paper clips of all sizes as well as uncoated and coated paper clips. Gather larger items of various sizes and metals and see which ones stick to the paper clips.
Rub it with a paper clip magnet instead of moving it back and forth along the same path. Use the same quick moves to light up the game. Continue to scrape back the paper clip 50 times faster than with a magnet.
Put the clip in contact with the narrower piece of metal, is it the little piece of metal that sticks to the clip? If so, you have successfully magnetized it. If the metal doesn't stick to the paper clip, rub 50 more times and try again.
To determine the strength of the magnet, try picking up other paper clips and larger items. Consider the length of time the paper clip remains magnetized after a certain number of rubs.
