To magnetize a nonmagnetic object, you have to align the electronegative poles within the material. To do this you can strike the material violently, you can induce a large voltage, or you can continuously stroke the material in one direction with a magnet.

What is the steps of making non-magnetic materials to magnetic materials?

rub a magnet on it in the same way but the material has to be magnetised :)


What is the difference between magnetic materials and non-magnetic materials?

Magnetic materials are materials that can be magnetized and can create a magnetic field, such as iron and nickel. Non-magnetic materials do not respond to magnetic fields and cannot be magnetized, such as wood and plastic.


What are magnetic and non magnetic materials?

Magnetic: Fridge magnet Non magnetic: Milk


What are non magnetic materials called?

Non-magnetic materials are often referred to as diamagnetic materials. These materials have a weak or no response to magnetic fields and are typically repelled by magnets. Examples include wood, plastic, copper, and water.


What is the steps of making magnetic materials to non magnetic materials?

A magnetic material will become non-magnetic if the temperature is increased beyond its magnetic transition temperature. For example, iron will be non-magnetic if its temperature exceeds about 1050 kelvin. Transition temperatures for different magnetic materials vary over a wide range. The element Gadolinium has a transition temperature near room temperature. Many other materials must be cooled to close to absolute zero in order to be magnetic.Another way to make a magnetic material non-magnetic, which may be possible for some materials, is to add an appropriate quantity of impurities. For example most stainless steels are non-magnetic even though they are mostly iron.It is also important to recognize the difference between magnetic materials and magnetized materials. Magnetic materials can be demagnetized, so they do not act like magnets, even below their transition temperature. They are still magnetic, but the magnetic regions within the material, called "domains," have been randomized in direction. When the material is magnetized, those internal fields tend to line up and combine their strength. Magnetizing and demagnetizing is often confused with magnetic and non-magnetic transitions, however the two phenomena are quite different in nature.


When do non-magnetic materials become attracted to magnets?

Non-magnetic materials become attracted to magnets when they are placed in a strong magnetic field.


What is the name of something that is not magnetic?

Try "non-magnetic". Also, since most magnetic materials contain Iron, then any non-ferrous metals are non-magnetic.


Is sulfur magnetic or non magnetic?

Sulfur is non-magnetic. It does not have magnetic properties like iron or nickel, which are considered magnetic materials.


Is wood magnetic or non magnetic?

Wood is non-magnetic because it does not contain iron, nickel, or cobalt which are the elements that make materials magnetic.


How do you test materials as magnetic or non-magnetic?

I use a "magnet".


Examples of non magnets?

Examples of non magnets are wood, petroleum, oxygen, etc.


Which can not be used for making permanent magnets?

Aluminum, Brass, Lead, Plastic or Paper because those materials are non-magnetic!
