Plastics, aluminum, air, organic compounds, etc all have a permeability of around 1 which means their molecule do not magnetize. Since their molecules do not magnetize they do not affect a magnetic field which will pass through them unchanged.

Why a changing magnetic field affects a metal but not something made of plastic?
Because the entire concept of magnetic field is based on the element IRON (and to a much lesser degree, Nickel). Iron content? (most metals): Magnetic. Plastic based? (no iron): Not magnetic. Simple as that.
Why will chalk dust sprinkled on a plastic sheet placed over a bar magnet NOT show the shape of the magnetic field?
Simple: chalk dust has no magnetic properties whatsoever, and is an insulator. As such, the magnetic field will flow right past it as if it weren't there, so it cannot position itself accordingly.
What is a region where a magnetic force can be detected?
The magnetic field. If it's an electromagnet, the electromagnetic field.
Does Ceres have a magnetic field?
No, Ceres does not have a magnetic field around it.
What is the magnetic field of a black hole?
A black hole has no magnetic field.

How does your credit card get erased?
A credit card is a piece of plastic with a strip of magnetic information on it. When this strip is exposed to a strong magnetic field, like in an MRI, PET scan, or CAT scan it can get erased because the magnetic field removes the magnetic information.
Which is none magnetic materials?
A non-magnetic matieral is one where there are no (or very few) free electrons to conduct the electro-magnetic field. One basic example is plastic.
The area around an object that is affected by the magnetism of that object is the?
A Magnetic Force
Region around a magnet in which magnetic force can act?
Magnetic freild

Simple: chalk dust has no magnetic properties whatsoever, and is an insulator. As such, the magnetic field will flow right past it as if it weren't there, so it cannot position itself accordingly.
Does Eris have a magnetic field?
no. Eris does not have a magnetic field
What is a region where a magnetic force can be detected?
The magnetic field. If it's an electromagnet, the electromagnetic field.
What is the neutral point of the magnetic field?
In a combined magnetic field, a neutral point is a place where the magnetic field is zero
Can things hover in a magnetic field?
Things that are affected by a magnetic field, such as iron and steel can hover in a magnetic field.
Is a piece of plastic magnetic or non magnetic?
Non-magnetic
What is a magnetic field made up of?
Magnetic field is made up of magnetic lines.
