Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When the bar magnet picks up a nail, it magnetizes the nail. The domains of the nails temporarily align in one direction and it acts like a magnet. The nail becomes a temporary magnet. Therefore, when the tip of the nail touches some staples, the staples get attracted by the nail and sticks to it.
