Can magnets attract a copper wire?
No, copper is not magnetic. That said, if the copper wire has an electric current flowing through it then it will generate its own magnetic field around the wire. It seems feasible that this could be enough to move the wire if you have another magnet near it.
How do you magnetise a magnetic material?
you can only magnetize something that contains iron. if what you have contains iron, then you rub a magnet on it
How is solenoid a magnet?
A Solenoid is an electro-magnet. It has coils of wire, usually copper. When an electric field is applied to the coils of wire, an magnetic field is generated. This magnetic field attracts a steel or iron segment on the switch and activates the switch.
How does the electromagnet work?
In layman's terms; a magnet has a natural magnetic field around it. This field interacts with iron based materials, like steel (but not stainless steel, or aluminum) and when a piece of steel is adjacent to the magnet's attractive pole, they stick together. When current (electricity) flows through a conductor (piece of wire) a magnetic field is produced, similar to a regular magnet. If a piece of wire (with current flowing through) is wrapped around a magnet, the Electromagnetic field that occurs around the wire joins and strengthens the magnetic field of the magnet, thus strengthening the overall magnetism. So when you see a crane picking up and dropping junk cars, they are simply turning on & off the flow of electricity through the coils of wire wrapped around the magnet doing the work.
A magnet can generate an electric current in a wire if the magnet is close enough to the wire and if the magnet is also?
strong
What produces electricity by using a coil of wire and a magnet or steel which produces a magnetic field when electricity flows through the wire?

The development history of enameled wire?
The aluminum core magnet wire, as the name suggests, refers to the magnet wire with aluminum as the core.
Performance difference between aluminum-based magnet wire and copper-based magnet wire?
According to different conductors, magnet wires can be divided into copper-based magnet
What is the advantage of steel wire?
Steel wire is strong.
