no. plastic bags are not metallic. i suppose a couple might be caught by static electricity, but that would be more inefficient that separating them by hand.

Can a magnet attract through ceramic tile?
No, but a powerful electromagnet could.
Do magnets attract plastic?
no, they do not
How do electromagnets affect nearby magnets?
If an electromagnet is close enough, it will either attract or repel other magnets.

How can an electromagnet attract plastic?
A pure hydrocarbon/fluorocarbon plastic contains no ferromagnetic material, so it will not be influenced by a magnet. If a plastic is loaded with ferromagnetic material (such as iron particles), then it will be influenced by an electromagnet. Ceramic materials loaded with ferromagentic materials, known as ferrites, are widely used in electrical and electronic equipment.

What is the ifference between an electromagnet and a permanent magnet?
Electromagnets and permanent magnets both attract or repel other magnets and attract iron and other substances. An electromagnet is a magnet that is only active when it has a current passing through it; permanent magnets are always active.
Do electromagnet attract other electromagnets?
depends opposite or like side pointing at each other

Will compost piles attract mice?
If food scraps are added to compost piles, they may attract mice. The problem can be reduced by burying the scaps several inches down in the pile when you add them, and layering extra brown material on top. A few aromatic herbs can be tossed on top of the scraps before burying them, to help mask the scent. A compost bin also helps exclude rodents. Hot composting is another solution. The heat of the pile breaks the kitchen scraps down before they can attract mice.
Would an electromagnet be attracted to a magnet?
Yes electromagnet would be attracted to a magnet provided direct current flows through the coil ie when the electromagnet is activated. As unlike poles attract each other the magnet is to placed accordingly. Otherwise repulsion would take place.
Would a north pole attract a plastic alien?
No
What are electromagnets used to record information on?
Electromagnets...electromagnets are magnets attract, or pull, some kinds of metal objects. Stronger magnets exert a greater pull on the objects they attract. Sometimes it would be useful if you could turn off a magnet when you did not want it to attract objects. That is what an electromagnet can do. Some electromagnets .in power plants and factories electromagnets are very large. You can make a small, simple electromagnet in school or at home.
