Can a magnet repel a paperclip?

Yes, a magnet can repel a paperclip if the paperclip is made of a material that is not attracted to the magnet, like aluminum. The magnet's magnetic field will interact with the paperclip's electrons, causing it to repel.


When you take a nail and a paperclip and they stick together on a magnet then take the magnet away the nail and paperclip still stick together what is that called?

However, if you bring a magnet near a piece of iron, such as a nail,and the paperclip. If the paperclip does not fall then the magnetic field has the iron nail. The result is a temporary magnet called an 'electromagnet'. The magnets either stick together or are suspended in midair


How does a paperclip attracts or repels to a magnet in water?

A paperclip will be attracted to a magnet in water just like it would be in air. The water may slightly decrease the strength of the attraction due to the presence of water molecules, but the paperclip will still be drawn towards the magnet. If the paperclip is non-magnetic, then it will not be attracted to the magnet in any environment.


What is the introduction of a magnet next to a paper clip creates a unbalanced force?

Because the magnet is not the same force as the paperclip!


If a paper clip is rubbed in one direction against a strong magnet what does the magnet cause to occur in the paper clip?

The strong magnet will induce a temporary magnetism in the paperclip, aligning its magnetic domains in the same direction as the magnet. This effect is known as magnetic induction, and the paperclip will exhibit magnetic properties as long as the magnet is nearby.

Which is the distance between a magnet and a paperclip?

Unfortunately this question needs more detail to answer. Are you asking about how far apart a magnet and a paperclip are if they're touching (# of atoms), or how far apart the magnet at my house is from the paperclip in china, or how far apart a magnet has to be from a paperclip before it starts to create a pull (even this would need more details, what size of magnet, what strength, what size of paperclip)?

Of a ferromagnet an electromagnet a temporary magnet or a permanent magnet which is easy to create but loses its magnetism easily?

The temporary magnet becomes a magnet in a strong magnetic field, but its magnetic properties will disappear when that field is taken away. The ferromagnet and the permanent magnet are essentially the same thing. The electromagnet isn't that easy to make compared to the temporary magnet. Let's conduct an esperiment. If we take a bar magnet and pick up a paperclip with it, we can use the paperclip on the end of the magnet to pick up another paperclip. The second paperclip we are picking up only needs to touch the first paperclip; it does not have to touch the magnet itself. When the magnet is taken away, the paperclips no longer exhibit magnetic properties. They were acting as temporary magnets, and the simple and easy removal of the magnet cause them to lose their magnetism.


What is the name of the force that attracts a paperclip to a magnet?
