Aluminum, while recyclable and very useful, is non-magnetic.

What are iron filings used for?
1. Iron reacts heavily with most forms of custard creating a deadly venom known as belladonna. However, one kind of custard known as the Gallus maxima creates plutonium when exposed to iron filings. When gallus maxima irona filinga is exposed to stomach acid it explodes.
What is the color of aluminium chloride solution?
You geek, why would you want to know that freak show
Is palladium magnetic?
Palladium is considered weakly magnetic. It exhibits a very small magnetic susceptibility. It is not considered to be a ferromagnetic material. Contaminants can, however, make Pd show ferromagnetism.
When magnetic quantum number is 2 how many electrons does it have?
The magnetic quantum number doesn't show the number of electrons.It show the orbital's orientation.Every orbital posses not more than 2 electrons.But You can't say what is their number (0, 1 or 2), knowing only the magnetic quantum number.
What is diagonal relation between boron and aluminium?
diagonal relationships are shown by elements in periodic table with same charge to radius ratio, i.e. same polarizing power. important examples are beryllium and magnesium, boron and aluminium, carbon and silicon. diagonal relationship leads to "mimicking" of chemical properties, i.e. beryllium will show properties of magnesium anomalous to its group behavior, for instance formation of nitrites. similarly, boron will "mimic" aluminium and show properties like formation of amphoteric oxides. also boric acid is not a protic acid as it gives H+ only in water, just like aluminium.(B(OH)3+ H2O=>B(OH)4-)
What can you use to show the magnetic field of a magnet for people to see?
Little bits of other magnet. Iron filings - the small pieces of metal will floow the magnetic field lines.
How do you find the shape of a magnetic field using a compass?
Yes. I can be done using iron filings and a clear piece of plastic. Pour on the iron filings, put on the plastic, and then the magnet. The iron filings should form the shape of the magnetic field around it. If that does not work, here is a link to a picture... http://www.fi.edu/htlc/teachers/lettieri/magneticfields.jpg Hope that helps.

How is the magnetic field around a magnet shown?
Get a decent size magnet. Get some iron filaments and sprinkle the iron filaments around the magnet. You will see the magnetic field of the magnet from the iron filaments lining up from each pole and curving outwards.
How can you determine the poles of an odd magnet?
You place the magnet under a piece of paper, and then sprinkle some iron filings on the paper. The iron filings will line up along the magnetic lines of force, which will show very clearly where the magnetic poles are.
What happens when you place iron fillings around a magnet?
The fillings align themselves according to the magnetic field created by the magnet. *See the related links to images of the fillings behaving this way, along with a drawing representing the magnetic fields to which the filings align. You can see how the fillings behave similarly in each of the different photos. (see also related question below)

What is used to represent magnetic field lines on a diagram?
Curved lines are used to represent magnetic field lines. The closer together they are, the stronger the magnetic field. Arrows are added to show the direction a north pole would move if placed at that point.
What can iron fillings be used to show?
to show the direction of a magnetic field
What is the list for the characteristics of a magnetic field produced by a current?
A magnetic field is a change in energy within a volume of space. A magnetograph can be created by placing a piece of paper over a magnet and sprinkling the paper with iron filings. The particles align themselves with the lines of magnetic force produced by the magnet. The magnetic lines of force show where the magnetic field exits the material at one pole and reenters the material at another pole along the length of the magnet. It should be noted that the magnetic lines of force exist in three dimensions but are only seen in two dimensions in the image.
How does a tangent at any point on the magnetic field line show the direction of magnetic field at that point?
This is true for any contiguous function, not just magnetic fields.
What do magnetic field lines that curve away from each other show?
The difficulty of attempting to measure something, without altering it by the attempt, is well shown in attempting to measure magnetic field lines.First, the lines of magnetic force are an artificial construct - in the same way as many contour lines are.Consider the 'field lines' between two poles of a magnetic. The magnetic field concerned will vary in a perfectly smooth manner as one moves away from the most central position between the two poles, to the positions most remote from the poles. There is no reason to believe that any one curve between the poles is preferred over any other; or any more real.When we sprinkle iron filings on the region between the two poles, we alter the properties of the field in a most egregious manner.The iron filings are ferromagnetic, and an individual filing thus concentrates the field in its region. AND the individual filing will have its own North and South pole.These filings will form a chain of interconnected filings, each with its own N and S poles, and attracted to the N and S poles of the next filing in that line.At the same time, the N and S poles of an individual filing will REPEL from adjacent similar fields. Thus there will appear to be lines of filings, roughly parallel to each other, and becoming closer as they approach the high intensity of the magnet's real poles.A similar problem will occur when attempting to measure the strength of an electrostatic field. For any dust sensitive to an electrostatic field will attract surplus electrons to itself, thus distorting the image of the field.
