Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

A magnet is an object that produces its own magnetic field which interacts with external magnetic fields. A magnet has two poles, north and south. The law for magnets is that similar poles repel each other while dissimilar poles attract towards each other.

A magnetized metal acts as a magnet in the sense that it has poles and it is attracted to opposite pole and repels same poles. Therefore, if a side of the metal is attracted to both the poles of a magnet it is not magnetized. If one side of the nail attracts one side of the magnet and repels the other, it is magnetized.

Conclusion:

If a side of the metal is attracted to both the poles of a magnet it is not magnetized. If one side of the nail attracts one side of the magnet and repels the other, it is magnetized.
