They are kind of like a force around each other. They are negative and positive pulls.
As you hold a paper clip to a magnet its an invisible field around the paperclip and the magnet. The paper clip also has magnet attracted metal so it will stick.
No, paperclips are not permanent magnets. They can temporarily exhibit magnetic properties when in the presence of a magnetic field, but they do not retain magnetism like permanent magnets do.
Any five items made primarily of iron (or steel, which itself is mostly iron).
They stick to other magnets or iron, cobalt and nickel.
Magnets stick to materials that are attracted to them, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt.
A magnetized rock, such as magnetite or hematite, can be used to pick up paperclips because they have magnetic properties that attract objects made of iron, like paperclips. These rocks can act as makeshift magnets for small metal objects.
Many items made of a certain material and minerals(such as:metal armor,refrigeraters,etc.),could often attrack to magnets wile items without this mineral should not stick or repel the magnet.However,yes,most paperclips attrack to magnets wile others don't.
Magnets stick to materials that are ferromagnetic, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt. They can also stick to certain alloys and other magnets. Materials like wood, plastic, and glass are not generally attracted to magnets.
Not to pure tin. Magnets stick to things with iron in them.
No, gold is not magnetic and will not stick to magnets. Gold is a non-ferrous metal, meaning it is not attracted to magnets.
Yes, paper clips are typically made of steel which is magnetic, so they can stick to magnets.
