Which pole of a magnet is attracted to iron?
Any of the two poles will work. It will induce magnetism in the iron.
Can thumbtacks be attracted to magnet?
Most thumbtacks are not magnetic and therefore will not be attracted to a magnet. If a thumbtack is made from a ferromagnetic material like steel, it may be attracted to a magnet. However, thumbtacks are commonly made from non-magnetic materials like brass or plastic.
Is phosphorus attracted by magnet?

Are all metal objects attracted to a magnet?
No, not all metal objects are attracted to a magnet. Only ferromagnetic materials like iron, nickel, and cobalt are attracted to magnets due to their alignment of magnetic moments. Other metals like copper, aluminum, and gold are not attracted to magnets.
Can Singapore coins be attracted to a magnet?
No, Singapore coins are made of non-magnetic metals such as cupronickel or copper-clad steel, so they are not attracted to a magnet.
Can Singapore's new coins be attracted to a magnet?
yes they can be
Can a magnet pick up coins?
The above answer is NOT correct. Coins are not magnetic, but depending on the metal they're made of SOME of them may be attracted to a magnet. Specifically, coins made of steel or high concentrations of nickel will be attracted to a magnet but those containing other metals such as copper or aluminum are not. Some Canadian, British, and European coins are made of steel as were 1943-dated US cents; all of these are attracted to a magnet. Other coins though have a lot of copper in them (e.g. most US coins except cents) and these are NOT attracted to a magnet.
Are copper coins attracted to a magnet?
No. Copper is not magnetic. However, some countries may issue coins that are copper-plated steel (as opposed to copper-plated zinc like the US cent). These steel coins, as well as other coins mostly made of steel and/or nickel, would be attracted to a magnet.
Is copper attracted to a magnet?
No, copper is not attracted to a magnet.
What coins are magnetic and how can you test their magnetic properties?
Some coins, such as the U.S. penny and nickel, are magnetic due to their composition. You can test their magnetic properties by using a magnet to see if the coin is attracted to it. If the coin sticks to the magnet, it is magnetic.
What is a British 1 Penny coin made from and is it magnetic?
No British coin is magnetic. Coins made from steel can be attracted to a magnet. From 1968 to 2011, the British 10 Pence coin was made from a copper-nickel alloy and therefore have no magnetic properties, copper and nickel both being non-ferrous metals. From late 2011, the British 10 Pence coin is made from nickel plated steel which has some magnetic properties similar to the 1 Penny and 2 Pence coins issued from 1992. The move towards coins made from steel is an effort by many countries to reduce the cost of manufacturing coins. Also, the coins are much more durable, even if the plating is not, and may extend the life expectancy of coins well beyond 50 years.
Why would a magnet not attract to old coins?
A magnet only attracts certain metals- primarily iron. Those old coins were not made of iron, but silver, copper and nickel. No reason they SHOULD be attracted by a magnet. Except 1943 US pennies, which WERE made of steel.
Are silver dollar coins magnetic?
No genuine silver coin will stick to a magnet. US silver coins are made of an alloy of silver and a small amount of copper, usually 90%/10% and neither of those metals is attracted to a magnet. However genuine 1799 dollars are rare, and it's very possible you have one of the many fakes that have flooded the market in recent years. These could be made of any base metal including those like steel that would be attracted.
What sticks to a temporary magnet?
Anything that is attracted to a permanent magnet will be attracted to (sticks to) a temporary magnet.
How do you know if a 1972 Canada Dollar is silver?
Standard circulation strikes are made of almost pure nickel so they'll be attracted to a magnet. In addition the coins will have a slightly darker appearance similar to US nickel coins. Proof issues are part silver and won't be attracted to a magnet. These coins would normally be in protective packaging because they were never intended to circulate.
Would silicon be attracted by a magnet?
