It certainly can. Paper and plastic do not insulate magnetic forces. If they are thick enough and the magnet is not very powerful, they could prevent it. But most plastic sheets or containers aren't going to be thick enough to keep them from reaching the nail.

∙ 12y agoA magnet can be used in the generation of electricity. A magnet that rotates inside a coil of copper wire will create an electrical current in that wire. This is the exact principle used in electric generators.

∙ 15y agono it doesnt conduct electricity
the person who gave the upper answer did not understand the question,because in the question generation of electricity is talking about not the conduction. we can generate the electricity by burning the wood. simply when the wood will burn some gases will produce.use the gases in order to rotate the impeller of the turbine.this causes electromagnetic induction which will induce EMF. However the pressure of the gases is not much higher,therefore the electricity produce will be negligible for more inf(fahim.ch01@gmail.com)

only if the wood contains traces of iron/ferrous metal then you might be able to induce a field around the piece of wood

∙ 14y agoyes as magnetic lines of force can easily pass through a non-magnetic substance.
However it depends on the thickness of the non-magnetic substance and on the strength of the magnet.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoYes as long as it's not really thick and the magnet is strong enough
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoYes. More precisely, a conductor (wire) must move relative to the magnet. This is how electricity is produced industrially.
Wiki User
∙ 7y agoYes, they have a magnetic charge of positive and negatives so they are bonded together to form electrical charges.

∙ 15y agoYes.

Does electricity flow through the magnet?
Magnets are conductors of electricity. If the magnets are made of a metal alloy, such as samarium cobalt, they become excellent conductors of electricity.
Do fridge magnets waste electricity?
no
What can stick to a magnet but does not conduct electricity?
a black rock
Who was the first man to make electricity from magnets?
Michael Faraday was the first one who observed the production of electricity by moving magnets towards a coil of wire. This phenomenon is known as electromagnetic induction.
What are facts about magnets that kids would like to know?
Kids might like to know that magnets have two poles (North and South), that opposite poles attract, that magnets attract certain metals but not all, and that magnets are used in the creation of electricity.
What type of magnets are easy to magnetize but Loose made quickly?
electronic magnets as they work with electricity produced
What do magnets make?
Electricity
Does electricity flow through the magnet?

Do fridge magnets waste electricity?
no
Do magnets have electricity in them?
both magents and electricity have positive and negiteve charges
How do you generate electricity using magnets to power Christmas lights?
Magnets are used to generate electricity by rotating them around a metal wire. Alternatively, rotate magnets within a coiled metal wire.
What are two ways magnets can produce electricity?
by putting magnets closer to each other
How could you increase a magnets power without electricity?
By rubbing two magnets together.
What is electricity of magnets?
your question makes no sense
What has the author Margaret Whalley written?
Margaret Whalley has written: 'Experiment with magnets and electricity' -- subject(s): Electricity, Experiments, Juvenile literature, Magnets
How does electricity move magnets?
magnet moves cause all magnets have an electric field around it]
Are magnets used to generate electricity?
Yes, magnets are an integral part of electrical energy generation.
