Use a magnet, iron is magnetic and will stick, while silver won't stick. Silver tends to have more of a shine and will be heavier than iron.
Yes but try a Canadian nickel because american nickels a 75% copper
Yes though it isn't a completely accurate way to test it. If a magnet will stick to it then it is most likely gold plated, but if the magnet doesn't stick to it that doesn't mean that it is not plated just that the base metal isn't mahnetic.
You would run a magnet over both of them together and the iron would stick to the magnet but the aluminum would not stick to the magnet or other way around. love, Hannah age 12
No. Only to iron and other ferromagnetic materials. Or if you form the aluminum into a coil and pass a current through it, then you have an electromagnet, which would be attracted to a magnet.
It depends on what silver it is!!CorrectionNo. Silver does not have the right atomic orientation to stick to a magnet.
A magnet does not normally stick to silver. However a current of electricity passing through silver wire will produce a magnetic field around the wire. That electric field would have an effect on a magnet, the principle of a solenoid switch. Copper is usually used in such switches as it is cheaper but silver could be used.
Silver and copper are not magnetic materials so no American 90% silver coin will stick to a magnet.
Nope.
You can not plate silver with iron, so no. (you can cover silver inside iron, but that would be just ridiculous, unless you want to hide the silver) But if you plate iron with silver, then you can lift the silvery object with magnet. (because the magnet sticks to the iron) But silver, whatever state it is in (wire, plate, necklace) does not stick to a magnet.
The only jewelry that would stick to a magnet would be anything with iron in it. Gold, silver, and platinum will not stick to magnets, either.
One way to know a coin is not silver is to check it with a magnet. If the magnet sticks to the coin, it is not silver. If the magnet does not stick, it still might not be silver. You can test it, but to do that you need a test kit.
Sterling silver is a non-ferrous metal alloy, so a magnet will not stick to it. Many metals, however, are non-ferrous, so just because a magnet doesn't stick to a particular metal doesn't make it sterling silver.
No. No genuine US coin other than the 1943 steel penny will stick to a magnet. If you have a US coin that sticks to a magnet other than the steel penny, it is a counterfeit.
Use a magnet, iron is magnetic and will stick, while silver won't stick. Silver tends to have more of a shine and will be heavier than iron.
The short answer is no. Real 9K or more gold is not magnetic, nor is silver. If you find that ur ring or necklace is sticking to a magnet it is plated and is not real.
No because silver and copper are not magnetic materials and therefore will not stick. If it sticks it is fake.
