Probably not.

You need a ferromagnetic material for a magnet to stick. There are basically three elements that are ferromagnetic: Cobalt [Co]; Nickel [Ni]; & Iron [Fe] (and some esoteric ones too). If the metal alloy that has been plated with silver to make the "silver plate" has enough of these then a magnet will stick, of these, only Nickel is commonly a component of alloys that are plated but often not in concentrations that are sufficient to make it obviously magnetic.

Will silver plated stick to a magnet?

You can not plate silver with iron, so no. (you can cover silver inside iron, but that would be just ridiculous, unless you want to hide the silver) But if you plate iron with silver, then you can lift the silvery object with magnet. (because the magnet sticks to the iron) But silver, whatever state it is in (wire, plate, necklace) does not stick to a magnet.

Does silver stick to a magnet?

A magnet does not normally stick to silver. However a current of electricity passing through silver wire will produce a magnetic field around the wire. That electric field would have an effect on a magnet, the principle of a solenoid switch. Copper is usually used in such switches as it is cheaper but silver could be used.

Will sterling silver stick to a magnet?

Nope.


Will a magnet stick to the backside of a case holding a ambrotype photo?

If the case is a typical Ambrotype case, and the image is a true Ambrotype, no, a magnet will not stick, since there is no metal in either. The Ambrotype is on glass, the case is made of wood and leather or cloth, or of thermoplastic and the metal frame that surrounds the image is made of non-magnetic brass. A tintype, on the other hand, is made from sheet iron, and a magnet will stick, though it would take a fairly powerful magnet to stick through a layer of wood or plastic between. A magnet will stick directly to the back of a tintype plate, however. To cover all the bases, neither will a magnet stick to a Daguerreotype, since the Daguerreotype plate is silver on copper, neither of which is magnetic.


Do all fake jewelry stick to magnet?

The only jewelry that would stick to a magnet would be anything with iron in it. Gold, silver, and platinum will not stick to magnets, either.


How do you tell a silver coin from other coins?

One way to know a coin is not silver is to check it with a magnet. If the magnet sticks to the coin, it is not silver. If the magnet does not stick, it still might not be silver. You can test it, but to do that you need a test kit.


Is silver attracted to a magnet?

Sterling silver is a non-ferrous metal alloy, so a magnet will not stick to it. Many metals, however, are non-ferrous, so just because a magnet doesn't stick to a particular metal doesn't make it sterling silver.


Why would a magnet stick to your skin?

Amagnate can stick to certain plates, If there is a plate in your body that magnates can stick to then it has to determine where in the body the plate is. If its near the skin then probably yes, but if its deeper in your body the magnate may not stick
