Aluminum is non-magnetic, but does interact with magnetic fields. Aluminum isn't normally magnetic, but as you carry a large aluminum tray towards the magnet, you find that the magnet repels the aluminum, why?
Lenz's law. The magnet induces a magnetic field in the moving aluminum tray to oppose it's own, effectively pushing it away.
As long as the tray doesn't move, it experiences no magnetic forces. But when you drop it, it falls past the magnet remarkably slowly. When the tray is stationary the magnetic field is not changing, but as soon as it moves, the field begins changing and an opposing field is induced.
If you want to test this, and you should, because it's cool, find a rare earth magnet and an aluminum tube. Drop the magnet into the tube and watch how it takes many times as long to fall through.
Also look up eddy currents on aluminum, they can be produced by spinning a magnetic field, and shoots aluminum cans off of conveyor belts.

∙ 14y agoA standard magnet has no effect on aluminum. A varying electromagnet field has a large effect on aluminum. Eddy currents act on it and are used to separate it from trash.
Interestly enough the new supermagnets" (neodymium alloy) are so strong that they will interact with aluminum. Sliding one of these down an aluminum sheet or tube will produce stroong enough eddy currents and associated magnetic fields that the retardation of the speed of progress of the magnet will be easily observed.

∙ 12y agono it certainly does not! especially high values! example; 20T
aluminium will change from being a paramagnetic to diamagnetic as where the magnetic flux is imposed when the imposed flux is moving! note well all materials and all atoms are both para magnetic and diamagnetic its a question of degree! and imposed foces such as magnetiism! andrew j langham

Why aluminium filings can not be used to show the magnetic field?
Aluminum, while recyclable and very useful, is non-magnetic.
Is any aluminum alloy magnetic?
No. Aluminum (aluminium) is not a magnetic metal. To illustrate this, place a magnet on an aluminum soda can: it won't stick. The main magnetic metals are iron and nickel. Practically all steel alloys (iron and carbon) are attracted to magnets.
Is rhenium magnetic?
Rhenium is paramagnetic. Paramagnetic materials have a small, positive susceptibility to magnetic fields. These materials are slightly attracted by a magnetic field and the material does not retain the magnetic properties when the external field is removed.
Separate iron filings and aluminum filings?
Aluminum and iron can be differentiated because iron is magnetic and aluminum is not. To separate them, expose the filings to a magnetic source and the iron will separate.
Will titanium effect a magnetic compass?
Yes, it is commonly known as magnetic deviation
What material isolate magnetic field?
aluminium
Why aluminium filings can not be used to show the magnetic field?
Aluminum, while recyclable and very useful, is non-magnetic.
What causes Jupiter's magnetic field?
What causes it's magnetic field is the dynamo effect.
What is paramagnetism?
if a strong magnetic field is applied, the molecular magnets set themselves with their lengths almost parallel to it. thus when the resultant magnetic effect is weak,the process is called paramagnetism paramagnetism is foung in aluminium,manganese and platinum.
What is meant by magnetic permeability?
All materials are magnetized when placed in the magnetic field . The material magnetized by the effect of a magnetic field is called magnetic permeability.
What is the effect of a magnetic field on a stationary electric field?
The magnetic field will have no effect on a stationary electric charge. ( this means that the magnetic field is also stationary. ) If the charge is moving , relative to the magnetic field then there might be an effect, but the size and direction of the effect will depend on the direction of the electric charge as it moves through the field. If the charge is moving parallel to the field there will be no effect on it. If the charge is moving at right angles to the field then it will experience a force that is mutually orthogonal to the field and direction of the motion. You really need diagrams to properly explain this
What is another word for earths magnetic field?
= An effect of the magnetic field is "Van Allen radiation belt" =
Can friction effect the magnetic field?
yes
Does a magnetic fIEld have an effect on a capacitor placed in between the plates?
Does a magnetic field have an effect on a capacitor when it is placed between the plates? Yes, a magnetic field between the plates of a capacitor would have some effect. Without more information it is difficult to determine how much.
What is fringing effect in magnetic field?
FRINGING EFFECT:Fringing effect is the magnetic characteristic caused by the shape around directly opposing the magnetic surfaces.
Differences between anomalous zeeman effect and normal?
normal zeeman effect occurs in strong magnetic field while anamolous zeeman effect occur in weak magnetic field
What is field effect?
Fringing effect is the magnetic characteristic caused by the shape around directly opposing the magnetic surfaces.
