Best Answer

Magnetic substances are substances containing aligned dipoles. Dipoles are spinning electrons. In order for something to be magnetic, its dipoles must be aligned with each other, so that they face the same direction. The direction they face create a North end, while the opposite end creates a South end.

Some substances, known as ferromagnetic substances, have permanently aligned dipoles. Other substances, such as paramagnetic and dimagnetic substances, require an external magnetic field to align, or 'induce' the dipoles of the substance.

To conclude, magnetic substances contain dipoles which are permanently aligned, or can be aligned through the force of external magnetic fields.

Diamagnetic Substances are those Substances there is no resultant field as the magnetic field produce by both the spin and orbital motions of the electrons might add up to zero.

Substances are magnetic that contain charge e, in that w=ze where z is the free space impedance 375 Ohms and w is the magnetic charge in Webers (Volt seconds). So where there is charge , there is magnetism. So much for the egghead answer; the real world answer is Iron, Nickel, Cobalt and some of their alloys.

Are most substances magnetic?

Technically all substances are magnetic in some way: it's either ferromagnetic (what most people would consider "magnetic"), paramagnetic (weakly attracted to a magnetic field), or diamagnetic (weakly repelled by a magnetic field). Not many substances are "magnetic" in the usual lay meaning of the word, though.
