This depends if they are charged or neutral and if they are moving or not.
A: If they are not moving then nothing usually and if they are neutral nothing.
B: If they are charged and moving then they begin to accelerate in the direction of the magnetic field.
C: If the object is a magnetic object for instance Iron that shares its electrons metallically then it will feel a acceleration in the direction of the magnetic field all other object will feel nothing.

∙ 11y agoAn isolated atom has three sources for a magnetic field, the electron motion, the electrons' intrinsic magnetic moment and the nuclear magnetic moment.
Explanation:
First, the electrons around the atom are in motion and if there is a net circulating flow (i.e. a nonzero angular momentum) then the motion of the electrons is a current that produces a magnetic field in basically the same process that any current produces a magnetic field.
Second, the electron itself has a magnetic property as a particle called the magnetic moment. The magnetic moment of the particle effectively makes it a tiny permanent magnet. (Other elementary particles have this property also.) The electrons in an atom can be arranged so that the magnetic fields of the individual electrons' magnetic moments add together or cancel each other out. If they do not totally cancel each other out, the atom as a whole then has the property of a tiny magnet. If arranged in a bulk form, like an iron magnet, these electrons can be the primary source of the permanent magnetic field of a material.
Third, the nucleus of an atom is also made up of particles with an intrinsic magnetic moment, just as the electron is. In particular, the protons have a large magnetic contribution. It is not often the case that the nuclei of atoms spontaneously align with the nuclei of other atoms to produce a net permanent magnetization of a material, but it is a technologically important characteristic, e.g. for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

How are image produced?
Magnetic field
Can a changing magnetic field produce a steady electric field?
Not a steady but a moving electric field can be produced by ever changing magnetic field.
What creates a magnetic field?
Both magnetic materials and moving electric charges induce magnetic fields. "A magnetic field can be created with moving charges, such as a current-carrying wire. A magnetic field can also be created by the spin magnetic dipole moment, and by the orbital magnetic dipole moment of an electron within an atom." A magnetic field can be produced by either a permanent magnet, or an electromagnet, the latter requiring suitable energization to function.
What is an atom that is only weakly affected by a magnetic field called?
Diamagnetic
An atom that is only weakly affected by a magnetic field?
Diamagnetic
What is produced around a wire that has a current?
Magnetic field.
What is a magnetic field will be produced at some point in space if the electric field at the point?
As far as the electric field is stationary then no magnetic field. But when electric field is moving at a uniform speed then a magnetic field will be produced. This is what we call Lorentz magnetic field.
What parts of an atom produce magnetism?
Every atom with the electron(s) revolving - or "spining" - around the atom's nucleus is a little magnet itself. Electrons of all atoms in a piece of material revolve (spin) in all possible directions, the magnetic field produced be each atom-magnet cancel each other and there is no general magnetic field in the material. If under the influence of an external magnetic flux picture does not change the material is said to be non-magnetic. On the contrary, if under the influence of the external magnetic flux the electrons spinning allign in the direction of the flux, the magnetic field of every atom allign too and produce a general magnetic field - the material is magnetic.
How are image produced?
Magnetic field
Can electricity be produced from a stationary magnetic field?
Yes, by moving the conductors through the magnetic field.
How does earth produce its own magnetic field?
A magnet is produced at the atomic level, the atoms that make up magnetic material have a "valence" electron configuration that causes the atom to have a positive and negative pole, these when are placed next to atoms of the same orientation will cause a uniform magnetic field and also the domains line up to make the magnetic field
What is helical motion?
Motion produced in the magnetic field, due to magnetic force that involves the components of the velocity perpendicular to the magnetic field.
Can a changing magnetic field produce a steady electric field?
Not a steady but a moving electric field can be produced by ever changing magnetic field.
What will be the Larmor precession frequency of an electron in an atom placed in zero magnetic field?
There is no Larmor precession without magnetic field
The magnetic field around an atom is the shape of?
In an electric current.
What are the three characteristics of magnetic field produced by a current?
.
