How a Comb Is Made into a Magnet

How a Comb Is Made into a Magnet

A magnet is an object that attracts other objects. The process of making a comb into a magnet involves a number of steps. Firstly, small pieces of paper are randomly arranged on a table, and a plastic comb is briskly rubbed with a piece of wool so that electrons are gained by the comb. Secondly, a negatively charged comb is held over tha pieces of paper, the comb is allowed to collect the pieces of paper. Finally, pieces of paper are throughly removed from the comb, and the steps one through four are repeated to verify the results.
