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.


You rubbed two balloons together and they stuck together is it possible?

The rubbing generates Static Electricity charges, and since the positive and negative attract each other, the two balloons stick together.


What makes plastic attract other material?

Static electricity. Static electricity is generated by an unbalance of the molecular construction of relatively non-conductive insulators such as plastics. Therefore, "charging" a plastic pole, or perplex rod, will then be able to attract small amounts of other materials, such as paper.


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.


Can similar charges attract each other?

No they can not attract each other.


What is a metal that can attract other materials without touching them?

Iron, Nickel and cobalt are attracted to magnets, these are field forces because they act on an object without touching it


Why do magnets attract to iron but not paper?

Iron has magnetic domains, that tend to align when the iron is in a magnetic field. Many other materials don't have such magnetic domains.


How did humans figure out about electricity?

Greek scientist-philosophers discovered static electricity after rubbing things like amber, silk and other materials against each other, then observing that there was a difference between the actions of the materials when placed near each other.

Do some materials hold onto electrons more tightly than others when charging by rubbing to occur?

Electrons are ripped off one material and held tightly by the other material.


What sides of the magnets attract each other?

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.
