Why can magnets only attract pins and not matches?
MAGNETS ATTRACT IRON! The pin is made of an iron so it is able to attract to the magnet. The match on the other hand, is made of cardboard paper substance. Paper and cardboard both DO NOT contain iron. That is why magnets attract pins but not matches.
Do all magnets attract to all metal?
no. They only attract to Nickel, Cobalt, Iron, and certain alloys.
Do magnets attract all objects?
No. Magnets can pull other magnets towards them, or push them away from them. If a magnet's north pole points towards another magnets north pole (or a south pole towards a south pole), they will repel, instead of pulling them towards them. On the other hand, if a magnet is brought near a piece of iron that is not already magnetic, it will induce magnetism in the iron, in such a way that the two magnets will attract one another. Yet on the other hand, magnets have hardly any influence on most substances.
What is true for magnets but not for charges?
Magnets have north and south poles, whereas charges do not have distinct poles. Additionally, magnets can attract or repel each other based on their alignment, while charges can only attract each other. Finally, magnets can retain their magnetism even when not in contact with another magnet, whereas charges require contact to interact.
