Neither lead nor silver is ferromagnetic. It's possible that some magnets may contain small amounts of lead and/or silver as contaminants, but as far as I know there are no common magnetic alloys that involve either of them in significant quantities.

What substance is attracted to a magnet silver lead water or iron?

Iron is the substance attracted to a magnet. Unlike silver, lead, and water, iron is a ferromagnetic material, meaning it can be magnetized and attracted to magnets. Silver and lead are not magnetic, and water is a non-magnetic liquid.

How do you tell a silver coin from other coins?

One way to know a coin is not silver is to check it with a magnet. If the magnet sticks to the coin, it is not silver. If the magnet does not stick, it still might not be silver. You can test it, but to do that you need a test kit.

Does silver stick to a magnet?

A magnet does not normally stick to silver. However a current of electricity passing through silver wire will produce a magnetic field around the wire. That electric field would have an effect on a magnet, the principle of a solenoid switch. Copper is usually used in such switches as it is cheaper but silver could be used.


Will silver plated stick to a magnet?

You can not plate silver with iron, so no. (you can cover silver inside iron, but that would be just ridiculous, unless you want to hide the silver) But if you plate iron with silver, then you can lift the silvery object with magnet. (because the magnet sticks to the iron) But silver, whatever state it is in (wire, plate, necklace) does not stick to a magnet.


Can silver be attracted to a magnet?

Will a magnet sick to sterling silver?

Does a us silver dollares stick to a magnet?

No, a US silver dollar does not stick to a magnet because silver is not a magnetic metal. United States silver dollars are made primarily of silver, which is a non-magnetic metal, so they will not be attracted to a magnet.
