Why is a steel attracted to a magnet?
Magnets are just certain minerals that create a strong magnetic field. Everything in the universe, down to our atoms, creates a magnetic field (which is why you can't walk through walls, even though the atoms in you are relatively far apart from one another). Some metals (such as iron) have a magnetic field that is attracted to the field from a magnet. So, the two objects, if given the opportunity, will try to go nearer to each other.
Can pure iron be separated by a magnet?
Cobalt and nickel are also magnetic elements.
Why is the positive side of a battery more attracted to a magnet?
None of the sides should be more attracted to a magnet than the other.
How magnet detect real gold?
Gold is non-ferrous and therefore is not attracted by a magnet. There are other metal that are attracted by a magnet but gold is not one of them. You can tell what is a ferrous metal and what is a non ferrous one but you cannot identify gold.
How would you distinguish between soft iron a piece of copper and a magnet?
The soft iron and magnet will attract each other - the copper will not be attracted to either of the other two.
How do you know if an object is going to be attracted to a magnet?
Metals and other magnets are the only objects that are attracted to magnets. However, many metals are NOT attracted to magnets. Copper, stainless steel, brass, gold, silver, zinc, and aluminum are a few metals that are NOT attracted to magnets. The best way to discover if the object will be attracted to a magnet is to introduce it to a magnet.
Are Liberty silver dollars magnetic?
Silver dollars from 1794 to 1935 were made of 90% silver and 10% copper, neither of which are attracted to a magnet. Only ferrous metals such as steel and iron, and certain other metals such as nickel are attracted to a magnet.

Will a magnet stick to chrome?
Chrome is not attracted by a magnet. However, chromium is used to coat steel and other metals. Those will stick to a magnet even if separated by a thin layer of chrome.
Can pure iron be separated by a magnet?
Cobalt and nickel are also magnetic elements.
Should pure nickel attract a magnet?
Yes, pure nickel is one of the few metals that's ferromagnetic; i.e. it's attracted to a magnet and can itself be magnetized. Iron and cobalt are the only other two common ferromagnetic metals. Gadolinium, neodymium and samarium are the remaining metals.
Can a magnet pick up coins?
The above answer is NOT correct. Coins are not magnetic, but depending on the metal they're made of SOME of them may be attracted to a magnet. Specifically, coins made of steel or high concentrations of nickel will be attracted to a magnet but those containing other metals such as copper or aluminum are not. Some Canadian, British, and European coins are made of steel as were 1943-dated US cents; all of these are attracted to a magnet. Other coins though have a lot of copper in them (e.g. most US coins except cents) and these are NOT attracted to a magnet.
Why is the positive side of a battery more attracted to a magnet?
None of the sides should be more attracted to a magnet than the other.
What gives a magnet its magnetism?
The ions are attracted to each other.
Are dragonflies attracted to iron such as rebar?
No, dragonflies are not attracted to iron or other metals.
Why does a compass needle spin toward the magnet when yu put it near a magnet?
The compass is a magnet too; and magnets attract each other. More specifically, the north pole of one magnet is attracted by the south pole of another magnet.The compass is a magnet too; and magnets attract each other.

Why are the two poles of a magnet attracted to each other?
different poles have different charges, and different charges are attracted to each other
