No, a magnet does NOT have the ability to attract materials that are NON-magnetic (unless it has something magnetic on it, or has magnetic material in it). Duhhh!!! I'm in seventh grade and even I know that!!! ; )
Yes it can. i can remember doing an experiment at school where we had a magnet on a bracket and a paperclip on some string attached to a weight. we made a gap between the two and held some materials in the gap paper and plastic and other non magteic materials didnt stop the magnetism passing through.
it can pas through non-magnetic materials but it cant pass through magnetic materials
No. Magnets only repel magnets of the same polarization, and do not magnetically influence non magnetic materials.
In the field of physics, there are many types of magnetic behavior that depend on the substances makeup. Three main types of magnetic behavior are:
Magnets do not attract nonmagnetic materials.
The term "nonmagnetic material" means a material that is unaffected by a magnetic field. Typical examples are glass, plastic, wood, aluminum etc.
A nonmagnetic material is not the same as a material that is not magnetized.
The classification of magnetic properties of materials can get a little complex. Further, it is a matter of degree since all materials have something called a magnetic permeability and if that is large, the material is more strongly affected by a magnetic field.
There are a number of materials that you can not make into a permanent magnet but which are nonetheless attracted by a permanent magnet. In those materials, there is typically an iron compound or atoms with a magnetic moment. An atom with a magnetic moment is itself a tiny magnet and so if there are enough of them a material will be attracted to a permanent magnet. Such materials are magnetic materials, not nonmagnetic materials.
Yes. A magnet weakly attracts many objects which aren't metals.
Given a magnet powerful enough, it can attract those objects.
A magnet is something that will attract another magnetic to or away from itself. Magnets usually follow the magnetized north and south poles.
yes. An example would be: electric coils... which are in motors and generators.
No
When magnetic material is kept in a magnetic field then it experiences a force. when nonmagnetic material is placed then there is no force acting on it. If you know, the origin of magnetism, you will find that when the electrons of any substance cancel the total charge of each other(produced by their spinning and moving around the nucleus) then that sub. is non-magnetic.
They use electromagnets to separate magnetic metals from non-magnetic metals/materials in scrapyards.
Whatever it is that enables a magnet to push another magnet without ever touching it, is called the "magnetic field". It is an invisible attribute of a magnet that surrounds the magnet and exerts forces on other magnets and some non magnets, like iron.
Magnets exert magnetic fields, as do electrical currents through wire. These magnetic fields have no impact on water transport through plant tissues, or on any of the minerals plants take up from the soil. Nor would magnets improve the process of photosynthesis. Theoretically, magnets should not have any impact on plant growth. Of course, this would need to be tested, preferably in a double blind experiment to rule out any effect of bias contamination of the results. Three groups of plants--one with magnets, one with non magnetic masses of roughly the same mass and density in place of the magnets, and a third control group with neither magnets or fake magnets should be grown in homogeneous soil, subject to equal measures of sunlight and water. The expected result would be no statistically significant difference in germination rate, plant growth, flower and fruit production, or overall plant longevity.
A contact force, such as friction. If a car wheel wasn't on the ground there couldn't be friction. A non-contact force could be magnets, the two magnets don't need to touch to repel or attract :)
of course not.
Simple answer: Magnetic materials are affeted by magnets while non magnetic materials are not Advanced: Magnetic (or paramagnetic) materials have unpaired electrons, causing atoms to align in a certain pattern when a magnet is introduced
Water, wood, and plastic are all non-magnetic. Magnets will not attract them.
No, they don't because they're non magnetic. Some commen magnetic materials are iron,nickel,cobalt and steel
Examples of non magnets are wood, petroleum, oxygen, etc.
Cu is slightly diamagnetic -- has a small tendency to repel magnets, so no, not a magnetic material.
Aluminum, Brass, Lead, Plastic or Paper because those materials are non-magnetic!
You can use a device that detects magnetism. A compass needle may suffice.

In non-magnetic materials,the magnetic moments of individual atoms are randomly arranged giving net zero magnetic moment such that these materials are not affected when an external magnetiv field is applied
Non-magnetic materials are referred to as diamagnetic.
Of course not. Fe (iron) and steel are attracted to magnets. Silver is not
