Either there is some ferromagnetic material in it, or given a large enough magnetic field, some plastics are paramagnetic, and are weakly attracted to magnetic fields. If this is something you have observed, however, it's probably due to some metal in the car, as the magnets required to observe paramagnetism are truly huge.

What will attract steel but not brass?

A strong magnet will attract steel due to its ferromagnetic properties, while it will not attract brass as it is not a ferromagnetic material.


An unmagnetized needle will not attract another unmagnetized needle but if one end of the needle is in contact with a magnet the other end will attract the other needle explain?

When one end of the unmagnetized needle is in contact with a magnet, the magnetic field from the magnet induces magnetism in the needle. This results in the end of the needle touching the magnet becoming a magnetic pole, and the other end becoming an opposite pole. The opposite poles attract each other, causing the unmagnetized needle to attract another needle when in contact with a magnet.


Will a magnet attract steel paper clip?

Yes, this is true because in magnet, there are many small domains which all point the same way... this makes a magnet wot it is. the reason that a papa clip will attract to a magnet is because of all the domains (tiny magnets) inside swerve around when they feel the pulse of the magnets field.. by hazap ........... .......... brap brap!


Why magnet can attract the soil?

Magnets attract materials that are influenced by magnetic fields, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt. Soils may contain minerals with magnetic properties like iron oxide, which makes them susceptible to being attracted by a magnet.


Can magnet pull threw paper?

No, a magnet cannot pull through paper because paper is not a magnetic material and does not attract to magnets. Magnets can only attract materials that contain iron, nickel, or cobalt.

Why does magnet attract iron nail but not plastic button?

Magnets attract iron nails because iron is a ferromagnetic material, meaning it can be magnetized and respond to magnetic fields. In contrast, plastic is a non-magnetic material that does not have the properties to be influenced by a magnet. Therefore, while the magnet induces a magnetic field in the iron nail, it has no effect on the plastic button.

Does a magnet attract a key?

It depends on the material the key is made of. If the key is made of a ferromagnetic material, such as iron, then yes, a magnet will attract it. If the key is made of a non-magnetic material, such as aluminum or brass, then the magnet will not attract it.


What material will a magnet not pass through?

A magnet will not pass through materials that are not magnetic, such as wood, plastic, glass, or paper. Materials that are considered non-magnetic do not have magnetic properties that can attract or repel the magnet.

How do you separate scrap iron and plastic?

One way to separate scrap iron and plastic is by using a magnet. Since iron is magnetic while plastic is not, you can use a magnet to attract and separate the iron from the plastic. Alternatively, you can also try using a mechanical sorting machine to separate the two materials based on their different physical properties.
