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 includes the following steps. First, small pieces of paper are randomly arranged on a table, and a plastic comb is briskly rubbed with a piece of wool so that it gains electrons. Next, negatively charged comb is held over the pieces of paper, and the comb is allowed to collect the pieces of paper. Finally the pieces of paper are thoroughly removed from the comb and, the steps 1 through 4 are repeated to verify results.
