It depends on what metal the screw is made of. Brass is non-magnetic, aluminum is non-magnetic, some kinds of stainless steel are non-magnetic. Most other metals that a screw might be made of are magnetic.
a magnet Actually named magnetite, but it is a natural magnet.
Poles on a magnet attract or repel because of the way the electrons line up. The electrons in the valence shells tend to line up on one side of the nucleus. The electrons have a negative charge and the nucleus has a positive charge. The negative charges in one magnet repel the negative charges in another magnet but attract the positive charges in another magnet.
Iron, cobalt and nickel are ferromagnetic metals.
A horseshoe magnet has a North pole one one of the feet and a south pole on the other. A magnet made of flexible material would collapse on itself as the two poles attract.
To repel something is to keep it away. To attract something is to draw it towards oneself. "Repel" and "attract" are words usually used to describe magnetism. Magnets have two opposite ends, or "poles", called "north" and "south". When the north pole of one magnet gets close the north pole of another magnet, they repel each other. When the north pole of a magnet gets close to the south pole of another magnet, they attract each other. Chuis attarct is when to magnets push together like the north and south magnet attract. repel is when to magnets pull apart from each other like the north pole and the north pole repel
The opposite of attract when referring to a magnet is repel.
what will not attract to a magnet
the south side of one magnet attract to the north side of the other magnet; opposites attract. The molecules get attracted.
attract
Sterling silver is not magnetic, as it contains no iron. Therefore, it will not attract a magnet.
A strong magnet will attract steel due to its ferromagnetic properties, while it will not attract brass as it is not a ferromagnetic material.
Metal?
Metal?
No
anything that contains metal, or the opposite polar attraction for the magnet (i.e. the + will attract to the - and vice versa)
No, aluminum is a non ferrous. Only ferrous metals can be attracted to a magnet.
Yes. The "north pole" of one magnet will attract the "south pole" of another. Opposite charges attract, likecharges repel.
