No, a magnet does NOT have the ability to attract materials that are NON-magnetic (unless it has something magnetic on it, or has magnetic material in it). Duhhh!!! I'm in seventh grade and even I know that!!! ; )
When magnetic material is kept in a magnetic field then it experiences a force. when nonmagnetic material is placed then there is no force acting on it. If you know, the origin of magnetism, you will find that when the electrons of any substance cancel the total charge of each other(produced by their spinning and moving around the nucleus) then that sub. is non-magnetic.
Whatever it is that enables a magnet to push another magnet without ever touching it, is called the "magnetic field". It is an invisible attribute of a magnet that surrounds the magnet and exerts forces on other magnets and some non magnets, like iron.
They use electromagnets to separate magnetic metals from non-magnetic metals/materials in scrapyards.
Magnets exert magnetic fields, as do electrical currents through wire. These magnetic fields have no impact on water transport through plant tissues, or on any of the minerals plants take up from the soil. Nor would magnets improve the process of photosynthesis. Theoretically, magnets should not have any impact on plant growth. Of course, this would need to be tested, preferably in a double blind experiment to rule out any effect of bias contamination of the results. Three groups of plants--one with magnets, one with non magnetic masses of roughly the same mass and density in place of the magnets, and a third control group with neither magnets or fake magnets should be grown in homogeneous soil, subject to equal measures of sunlight and water. The expected result would be no statistically significant difference in germination rate, plant growth, flower and fruit production, or overall plant longevity.
A contact force, such as friction. If a car wheel wasn't on the ground there couldn't be friction. A non-contact force could be magnets, the two magnets don't need to touch to repel or attract :)
of course not.
Examples of non magnets are wood, petroleum, oxygen, etc.
REPULSION OF MAGNETS:ANS:Magnets repel those materials who have opposite polarity to the magnet's.If a material is charged negative then a positive poled magnet will repel it with an electromagnetic force.
Magnets have domains of aligned magnetic moments, resulting in a macroscopic magnetic field, which is not present in non-magnetic materials. Additionally, magnets exhibit magnetic hysteresis, the ability to retain magnetic properties after being magnetized, which is absent in materials lacking magnetism. Lastly, magnets can attract or repel other magnets or magnetic materials, a behavior not seen in non-magnetic materials.
You can use a device that detects magnetism. A compass needle may suffice.
Materials that are non-magnetic, such as wood, plastic, and glass, tend to repel magnets. Additionally, materials with specific physical properties like being too thick or too soft can also repel magnets. Temperature can affect magnetic attraction, with extreme heat or cold potentially causing repulsion.
Non-magnetic materials become attracted to magnets when they are placed in a strong magnetic field.
Materials that are attracted to a magnet are called ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt. These materials have their own magnetic field that aligns with the external magnetic field. On the other hand, materials like wood, plastic, and glass are not attracted to magnets and are considered non-magnetic.
Materials such as wood, plastic, glass, and paper do not contain magnetic properties and therefore do not attract or repel magnets. Additionally, non-magnetic metals that are not ferromagnetic, such as copper, aluminum, and brass, do not interact with magnets and are not repelled by them.
A key characteristic of magnets is their ability to exhibit a magnetic field, which allows them to attract or repel other magnetic materials and influence charged particles. This magnetic field arises from the alignment of magnetic domains within the material, a feature absent in non-magnetic materials where such alignment does not occur. Additionally, magnets have a north and south pole, a property not found in non-magnetic substances.
Magnets cannot attract or repel water because it is not a magnetic material. Wood and plastic also do not contain magnetic properties, so magnets will not affect them in the same way they would with metals like iron or steel.
Gold is not a magnetic material. It is a non-magnetic metal, meaning it does not attract or repel magnets like iron or nickel.
