Well, let's see. If I have a paper clip on a table and a magnet in my hand, and I slowly pass the magnet over the paper clip, the magnet in my hand is pulling the paper clip up with magnetism. If my magnet is close enough to the paper clip, the paper clip will jump up to the magnet ... even though the whole Earth is pulling it down with gravity.
If you put the magnet near the iron fillings, they will be drawn out by the magnetic pull of the magnet.
Depending on how strong the magnet is the amount of paper clips it can pick up will vary. Why don't you test it for yourself?
When the magnets pull apart they are attracting each other because, there is a South Pole of a magnet and a North Pole i of a Magnet. :)
No. It only needs to pass through a magnetic field to become magnetized. It does not need to come into physical contact with the magnet producing that field. This is because the process of magnetization has to do with electromagnetic induction rather than physical contact. You can perform a simple experiment at home to prove this point. You'll need a bar magnet, a paper clip, and a thin sheet of paper. Place the paper between the magnet and the clip. Rub the clip against the paper on top of the magnet, and observe that the clip will still become magnetized even though it is not in physical contact with the magnet.
Yes they can pull across an air gap and air is gases
You need to do the experiment. If the magnet is strong enough, metal (steel, iron) will jump to the magnet (or pull the magnet towards it).
The pull of the magnet is strongest at the poles.
if you can find a really strong magnet or a vacuum with a small nozzle to suck air threw and pull it out
Magnetic filed of the bar magnet will penetrate a paper. Hence the clip will be attracted and stick to the magnet pressing the paper too to the magnet.
magnet attracts iron. paper clip made of iron magnet atrracts paper clip...
The needle goes to the magnet because of the pull!!!

I don't think so. The earth doesn't have to touch a rock in order for the force of gravity to pull the rock towards the earth. A magnet doesn't have to touch a paper clip in order to pick it up off the table and pull it all the way to the magnet.
A magnetic force.
no magnets can not pull some aluminium.
The paper clip clings to the the magnet
