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.
WHICH IS MORE POWERFUL GRAVITY OR MAGNETISM?
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.
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.

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?
