Ferrous metals, such as:
Iron (Fe)
Cobalt (Co)
and some alloys respond to magnetism.
Aluminum responds to electromagnetic eddy currents.
Ferrous metals would be attracted to a permanent magnet.
magnet can only attract magnetic materials like iron
Usually magnets attract any iron based metals. Magnets usually only attract or repel other magnets
Iron and alloys containing iron.Answer:Iron, nickel and cobalt and their alloys are the common metals that attract magnets. Also, the rare metals gadolinium, neodymium and samarium attract magnets.
do magnets attract only shiny things
No
Kids might like to know that magnets have two poles (North and South), that opposite poles attract, that magnets attract certain metals but not all, and that magnets are used in the creation of electricity.
Because magnets only attract magnetic metals.
Usually magnets attract any iron based metals. Magnets usually only attract or repel other magnets
all magnets attract ferrous metals (metals containing iron) and the opposite poles of another magnet.
No, only solids.
There are magnets in magnets that magnetically attract metal...
No metals can attract a magnet. Only magnets can attract metals. (Believe me there is a difference). However the most common examples of metals which magnets would be able to pick up are Iron and Steel (steel is an alloy of Iron and Carbon)
Magnets attract to ferrous metals such as iron, nickel, cobalt, certain steels and other alloys.
Yes and only certain metal or substances that have those metals in them.
Iron and alloys containing iron.Answer:Iron, nickel and cobalt and their alloys are the common metals that attract magnets. Also, the rare metals gadolinium, neodymium and samarium attract magnets.
No. Magnets do not attract gold, silver, aluminum, brass, copper or lead. Magnets will attract nickel and iron or steel.
The only element attracted to magnets is iron. If a magnet sticks to it, it contains iron. Since steel is mostly iron, it attracts to magnets as well. Gold, silver, titanium, platinum, copper, and aluminum are metals that don't attract to magnets, just to name a few.
if different magnets attract metals then the attraction will be different.
