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..

Can Magnet attract a steel paper clip through air and water but not glass?

That statement is not true. Yes a magnet will attract a steel paper clip through air or water. No, a magnetic field will penetrate glass as well... probably. Certain types of glass (which are themselves ferromagnetic) might serve to block a magnetic field.


Can a magnet pick up a paper clip in water?

Certainly, as long as the paper clips are made of iron or steel. Most paper clips are made of polished or zinc-plated steel. Magnetism is a field that is not affected by water or any intervening matter unless that matter is also magnetic, or ferromagnetic.


Why might a magnet that sticks to your refrigerator be unable to pick up a far away paper clip?

The magnetic force weakens with distance, so the magnet may be unable to exert enough force to pick up the paper clip when it is far away. The strength of the magnetic field decreases rapidly with distance, which is why the magnet can only attract objects that are close to it.


Is picking up a paper clip with a magnet a physical change?

No, picking up a paper clip with a magnet is not a physical change. It is a demonstration of magnetic force and involves no permanent alteration to the paper clip's structure or composition.


How does a paper clip stick to both north and south poles of a magnet?

A paper clip is neutral or not magnetized and when you bring it to a north or south pole, the opposite little magnets in the clip are attracted to it. If it is kept in contact long enough, the clip will itself become magnitized.

Can a magnet attract a paper clip with a card broad between which other?

No, a magnet will not be able to attract a paper clip that has a cardboard between them. The cardboard will act as a barrier, preventing the magnetic force from reaching the paper clip.


Would an iron paper clip attract a magnet?

Yes.


What type of magnet do you use with paper clip?

You can use a regular, household magnet with a paper clip as paper clips are usually made of steel or iron, which are magnetic materials.


If you have a a magnet stuck to the nail then a paper clip stuck to the nail then you take the magnet away and the nail in the paper clip are still together why did that happen?

The magnet induced magnetic properties in the nail and the paper clip, causing them to attract each other. When the magnet was removed, the induced magnetism in the nail and paper clip allowed them to remain attracted to each other.


What can happen when you rub a magnet on a paper clip?

A paper clip is made up of iron or steel. It consists of particles called domains which are randomly arranged. When a magnet is rubbed on a paper clip, the domains arrange themselves in one direction. Thus it gets magnetized and behaves as a magnet.


What would not attach to a magnet a steel paper clip aauminum pot?

aluminum pot


What is the effect of a paper clip on to a magnet?

Well, there are two poles to a magnet. A negative one and a positive one. Since metals are good conductors of charge and the paper clip is a metal object, they will attract. The charge of the paperclip is opposite the charge to one of the poles of the magnet.


What kind of magnet is a magnet made from a steel paper clip?

If it has been magnetized by another magnet, then it is just a temporary magnet, but if it uses an electric current, then it is an electro-magnet.


How come you can lift a paper clip with a magnet without touching it?

magnet attracts iron. paper clip made of iron magnet atrracts paper clip...


What will happen to the paper clip when a sheet is placed between the bar magnet and the paper clip?

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.
