No, copper is unaffected by any magnet you're likely to come across (although an extremely powerful magnet - something the size of, say, a car - would have some effect).

Does glass move away from magnet?

No! there's no magnet attraction between glass and metal, I don't think the glass wont do anything.


What are the 2 magnets pushing and pulling against each other in a motor called?

Magnets in motors do not push or pull each other at all. When electricity is passing through the copper wire of the Rotor, (the rotating part of the motor and shaft) the magnetism of the fixed magnet, forces the copper wires in the Rotor, to move away from the magnet. This force created by the combination of current in the copper wire, and the magnetic field of the magnet; creates a force strong enough to cause the rotor to move away from the magnet. The overall outcome is that the rotor starts to rotate permanently . This force is referred to as the electro- magnetic field force. If you use more separate magnets you will get more power out of the motor. It is common for larger motors to have 8 or more permanent magnets in them, but they do not push or pull against each other. They actually push the copper wires, providing the wires carry electricity.


What does a magnet have to do to produce an electric current?

move it back and forth infront of a copper wire that is connected to something i dont remember.


Can a magnet move a car?

A magnet can move a car, if the magnet is strong enough.


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.


A horseshoe magnet is moved back and forth across a piece of copper wire an electric current is detectable in the wire?

yes, it will be very small but the inductance from the magnet should stimulate a current in the wire as it will cause electrons to move.


What happens to the strength of the magnetic field as you move away from a magnet?

When you increase the distance the force is decreased, and when you decrease the distance you increase the force.


If a bar copper is brought near a magnet the copper bar will be?

I have just taken the test and the answer is.. b.) unaffected by the magnet The copper bar will become reactive if/when magnet is in motion. example; if strong magnet is slid swiftly along copper bar by hand, reaction will occur as a reactive force or drag and can be easily observed by anyone willing to test it themselves. This reaction is a form of Induction.


What is a British 1 Penny coin made from and is it magnetic?

No British coin is magnetic. Coins made from steel can be attracted to a magnet. From 1968 to 2011, the British 10 Pence coin was made from a copper-nickel alloy and therefore have no magnetic properties, copper and nickel both being non-ferrous metals. From late 2011, the British 10 Pence coin is made from nickel plated steel which has some magnetic properties similar to the 1 Penny and 2 Pence coins issued from 1992. The move towards coins made from steel is an effort by many countries to reduce the cost of manufacturing coins. Also, the coins are much more durable, even if the plating is not, and may extend the life expectancy of coins well beyond 50 years.


How do you control a magnetic field from a distance?

Surrounding a magnet with a magnetic shell can allow the magnetic field to move farther away from its source.

There are 5 coins 2 nickels and 3 pennies they are in the order of penny nickel penny nickel penny and need to be in the order of penny penny penny nickel nickel you can only move a penny and a nickel?

move the penny on the far right over to the other side on the left and then move the 1st nickel over to the right...hence penny penny penny nickel nickel
