| There
is a picture of a smith hammering steel to make a magnet, in
a book called De Magnete written by Queen Elizabeth I's
physician Dr William Gilbert. |
 |
Heating
and hammering with a steel bar in a North-South direction can
make a magnet. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
 |
This
causes the molecules to line up in the North-South orientation. |
|

|
|
|
| Stroking
a piece of unmagnetised iron or steel with a known magnet can
make it into a magnet. |
 |
This
causes the molecules to line up in the North-South orientation. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| Placing
a magnet alongside a non-magnetised steel knitting needle for
some time will magnetise it. |
 |
This
causes the molecules to line up in the North-South orientation. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| Placing
an object such as a non-magnetised steel knitting needle in a
north-south position will allow it to become a magnet through
the influence of the earth's magnetic field. |
 |
This
causes the molecules to line up in the North-South orientation. |
