    The passage discusses different properties of magnets and magnetic materials. It also describes ways to identify magnetic properties and how to magnetise/demagnetise materials.

    Materials can be magnetised by placing them in a solenoid connected to a direct current or by stroking them with a permanent magnet. A permanent magnet can be demagnetised by heating it to a high temperature.

    Copper is non-magnetic and will not attract any tacks. Iron is magnetic and will attract some tacks. Steel is strongly magnetic and will attract many tacks.
