A current passing through a wire creates a magnetic field around the wire, due to effects of special relativity (the electrons are moving FAST). Alternatively, a changing magnetic field (such as created by a moving magnet) induces electric current in a nearby wire. Faraday's Law describes this behavior.

Steel is magnetic as are most ferrous metals. Fe = iron. Non ferrous metals are not magnetic. Some examples; aluminum, brass, copper, nickel etc. Stainless steel is non-magnetic because of the nickel content.

No, a extension cord cable is not magnetic. It is neither attracted to nor can it be picked up by a magnet.

Yes. and if you coil the wire, the more powerful the force becomes with the same energy.

Do you have to use all 4 wires when making an extension cord?

No, but it is a waste of money when you only need three of the four wires when making an extension cord. If you are constructing an extension cord make sure that the ends go to the right end of the cable. Match the wire end when looking at it, to the proper pin configuration of the plug. White to silver, black to brass and green to green terminal. Looking at the end of the cable, it should be matched the plug configurations. On the plug end the wire should match the cable. If it doesn't look at the other end of the cable. No wires should cross when connecting to the blades on the plug, If they do you have the wrong end of the cable.
