What Three properties of a magnet?
1. Magnets attract iron and other ferromagnetic materials such as neodymium and cobalt. 2. Magnets attract or repel other magnets. 3. In addition one part of a magnet will always point north when allowed to swing freely.
Will silver attract a magnet?
No..magnets are only attracted to ferrous (iron) materials.
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.
Do magnets repel nonmagnetic materials?
Magnets attract magnetic materials such as iron. Magnets either attract or repel other magnets depending on the polarity. Magnets repel diamagnetic materials. Most diamagnetic materials (bismuth, diamond, graphite, silver) are only weakly repelled. Super conductors are strongly diamagnetic, and are more strongly repelled.
What make magnet lose its magnetism if it is?
Magnets can lose their magnetic properties if exposed to high heat or are made subject to high impact. The temperature at which magnets lose magnetic properties is referred to as the Curie Temperature for ferromagnetic materials.
Are ferromagnetic materials weakly attracted to magnets?
No, ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted to magnets. Ferrimagnetic materials are weakly attracted to magnets.
Why do magnets only attract certain materials?
Ferromagnetic materials are attracted to magnets because their electrons spin and the resulting “magnetic moments” align easily, and retain that alignment even without an external magnetic field. ... Essentially, any alloy composed of ferromagnetic materials will also be magnetic.
How are magnets and electromagnets the same?
both can attract the ferromagnetic substances........
Why does the magnet stick to the refrigerator?
Because most refrigerators are made of ferromagnetic materials, and ferromagnetic materials are attracted to magnets.

Earth itself can make magnets out of ferromagnetic materials?
Ferromagnetic materials are made of iron. Iron can be magnetized with proximity to other magnets. The core of the Earth is magnetic. As a result, magnets can be created without interference.

What metal do magents attract?
Any kind of metal. ------------------------------ Magnets attract ferromagnetic metals, mainly iron and nickel, and their alloys. ------------------------------
Does plastic attract to a magnet?
No, it does not. A magnet produces a magnetic field, which attracts only ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, and also repels other magnets. Other ferromagnetic materials include: cobalt, nickel, iron, some alloys of rarer earth metals as well as natural minerals, such as lodestone.
What metals attract to magnets?
I believe those would basically be the ferromagnetic materials. You can find a list of elements and compounds here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferromagnetism#Ferromagnetic_materials See the table on the right.
Will silver attract a magnet?
No..magnets are only attracted to ferrous (iron) materials.
What can magnets do to different materials?
It can repel or attract different materials depending on which they are
