Is it possible to make temporary magnets? How can these be made? Class 8

Answer:

Yes, temporary magnets can be made easily:

  1. Rub an iron nail with a magnet: It becomes magnetic for a short time.
  2. Use electricity: Wrap copper wire around an iron object and connect it to a battery.

This makes an electromagnet. When we stop the current, the magnetism goes away.
