Yes, it is. In fact, it's possible to attract anything to a magnet, provided the applied magnetic field is strong enough. This is due to the phenomenon known as diamagnetism. Diamagnetism is an effect caused at the atomic level, in where, given a strong enough applied field, all of the electrons inside all of the atoms within the material will slightly shift their orbits around the atomic nucleus to compensate for the external magnetic field. Now, were this to happen to just a few of the electrons in the material, the effect wouldn't be noticed. But, since it happens to allof the electrons in the material, an electric potential difference is created within the material, between the electrons and the nucleus, that can be observed at a macroscopic level.

Can a magnet attract a paper clip with a card broad between which other?
No, a magnet will not be able to attract a paper clip that has a cardboard between them. The cardboard will act as a barrier, preventing the magnetic force from reaching the paper clip.

Why can magnets only attract pins and not matches?
MAGNETS ATTRACT IRON! The pin is made of an iron so it is able to attract to the magnet. The match on the other hand, is made of cardboard paper substance. Paper and cardboard both DO NOT contain iron. That is why magnets attract pins but not matches.

Why does room temperature magnet attract more paper clips than a hot or cold magnet?
yes becase u need it
Explain why magnet attract iron but do not attract paper.?
Magnet emmits electromagnetic waves which only affects 3 metals:iron,nickel and cobalt. Papes does not get affected as it's atoms do not respond to electromagnetic waves.
How many paperclips can a bar magnet pick up?
Depending on how strong the magnet is the amount of paper clips it can pick up will vary. Why don't you test it for yourself?
What do magnets not attract to?

What is the effect of a paper clip on to a magnet?
Well, there are two poles to a magnet. A negative one and a positive one. Since metals are good conductors of charge and the paper clip is a metal object, they will attract. The charge of the paperclip is opposite the charge to one of the poles of the magnet.
