In “real life” (not in the Gizmo), rub a metal paper clip with a magnet. What happens when you touch another paper clip with your magnetized paper clip?

When you touch another paper clip with your magnetized paper clip, the magnetized paper clip will transfer some of its magnetism to the other paper clip. As a result, the other paper clip will become magnetized and will attract certain materials like iron or steel. They may stick together or exhibit magnetic properties.

When you rub a metal paper clip with a magnet in "real life," the paper clip becomes magnetized. This happens because the magnetic field of the magnet aligns the magnetic domains within the paper clip, creating a temporary magnetic effect.

When you touch another paper clip with your magnetized paper clip, a transfer of magnetism may occur. The second paper clip will also become magnetized, but to a lesser extent than the first one. The strength of magnetism transferred depends on the proximity and duration of contact.
