Some objects are not attracted by magnets because they are not metalic. If the Magnet just attracts metalic minerals, definitely only metalic are attracted and not non-metalic..

How are objects that conduct electricity and objects that stick to magnets alike?

a. Objects like iron, copper, gold, silver etc are the good conductor of electricity. b.Objects like Iron[ para magnetic] and certain chemical compounds like Iron oxide are attracted towards the magnets.


How are magnets attracted to other magnets?

Magnets are attracted to each other due to their magnetic fields. Opposite poles (north and south) attract each other, while like poles (north and north, south and south) repel. This attraction is a result of the alignment and interaction of the magnetic domains within the magnets.


How do magnets interact with objects made of different materials?

Magnets interact differently with objects based on their magnetic properties. Magnetic materials like iron and steel are attracted to magnets, while non-magnetic materials like wood and plastic are not. Some materials, like copper and aluminum, are weakly repelled by magnets due to their diamagnetic properties.


What and makes magnetic objects different form non magnetic objects?

Magnetic objects have domains of aligned magnetic moments that create a magnetic field, while non-magnetic objects have randomly oriented magnetic moments that cancel each other out. Additionally, magnetic objects can be attracted to or repelled by magnets, whereas non-magnetic objects are not affected by magnetic fields.


What are the property of magnets?

Opposite poles of magnets attract each other while like poles repel. So... North is attracted to South but two Norths repeal and two Souths repel. Magnets are also attracted to magnetic substances such as Iron and Nickel. Basically, magnets have two poles, they come in various shapes and attract/repel other magnets.


How are charged objects and magnets alike?

Charged objects and magnets both produce electromagnetic forces. A charged object generates an electric field that can attract or repel other charged objects, while a magnet produces a magnetic field that can attract or repel other magnets or magnetic materials. Both can exert forces on nearby objects without physical contact.


Do magnets turn into flies?

No, magnets do not turn into flies. Magnets are objects that produce a magnetic field while flies are insects belonging to the order Diptera. They are completely different entities with no relation to each other.


How can you tell the difference between a bar of iron a bar of copper and a magnet?

You can differentiate between a bar of iron and a bar of copper by testing their magnetic properties - iron is attracted to magnets, while copper is not. A bar magnet will attract small iron objects, while a bar of copper will not be attracted.


What can magnets pick up?

A 'tin can' is actually made of steel, which is a magnetic alloy of iron. There is sometimes a layer of tin (or zinc), electroplated onto the surface, so the name is misleading. It is more properly a 'tinned' can as it is a steel can which has been 'tinned' to stop it from corroding.


Does magnitism work with gravity?

Magnets and gravity are two separate forces. Magnets produce a magnetic field that can attract or repel other magnets or magnetic materials, while gravity is the force that attracts objects with mass towards each other. There is no direct interaction between magnetism and gravity.


Why are some objects attracted to a magnet while others are not?

Objects that are attracted to a magnet, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt, possess magnetic properties within their atomic structure. These materials have unpaired electrons that align with the magnetic field created by the magnet, causing them to be attracted to each other. Other materials, like wood, plastic, and glass, do not possess these magnetic properties and are not affected by a magnet.


How do magnets behave?

Magnets are made from magnetic materials. These are metals that can be magnetised or will be attracted to a magnet. Most materials are not magnetic, but iron, cobalt and nickelare magnetic. Steel is mostly iron, so steel is magnetic too.
