Most steel and iron get slightly magnetic from the manufacturing process and just sitting around.
Check any can in your kitchen cabinet with a compass.
As a paper clip is steel, and steel is magnetic, then yes, it is magnetic.
The 4 magnetic materials are:
Cobalt,
Steel,
Iron,
Nickel.
Note: one way to remember this is to remember the phrase about the London Bridge.
London bridge cost a few nickels. It had a few (co)bolts, a lot of iron, and the cars that drove on it were made from steel!
Or remember the acronym NICS.
You've already got nickel from NICS, and it's the first word, then you have iron, then you have cobalt, and finally you have steel.

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.
Why doesn't a paperclip rust?
If you are having the paperclip in bleach it should take about 2-3 weeks. If you have the paperclip in vinegar then it should take about 3-4 weeks. If you have a nail in bleach then it should take about 2-3 days. If you have a nail in vinegar then it sohuld take about 1-2 weeks.
Can electricity pass through a paperclip?
Most common paper clips are steel and conduct electricity. Some clips are made of plastic or have thin plastic coatings to reduce rust and these will not conduct electricity.yes
Why did the paper clip fall to the bottom of a bowl of water?
The paper clip is more dense than the water, and it will sink. Water does not have sufficient buoyancy to support it. As regards density, the metal in the paperclip has more mass per unit of volume than the water does.
What happens in Peter's circuit to show him that the paperclip allows electricity to pass through?

Is a paperclip is a conductor?
It depends what it is made of. If it's metal it conducts, if it's plastic it is an insulator.
What does a magnet do to a paperclip?
A magnet can attract a paperclip by creating a magnetic field that pulls the iron-based metal of the paperclip towards it. This attraction is known as magnetic force, and it causes the paperclip to stick to the magnet.
Is paperclip conductor or insulator?
Metal = conductor - plastic isn't
Why does paperclip conduct energy?
It's made of a conductive metal.
Is paperclip made from plants?
No. Paperclips are made of metal which is extracted in mines.
Why is a magnet attracted to a paperclip not rubber?
Because paperclips are metal...not rubber.
Is a paperclip a rock or a mineral?
A paperclip is neither a rock nor a mineral. It is a man-made object typically made from metal, such as steel or aluminum, and does not fit the criteria to be classified as either a rock or a mineral.
Is a paperclip a good conducter?
YES! anything that's metal is a good conductor
What is a paperclip made of?
A paperclip is typically made of galvanized steel wire, which is a type of steel that has been coated with a layer of zinc to prevent rusting. This material provides the paperclip with its strength and flexibility to securely hold papers together.
Is a paperclip a conductor?
Yes, a paperclip is a conductor because it is made of metal which allows electricity to flow through it. Metal is a good conductor of electricity due to its ability to allow the movement of electrons.
Is pure gold harder than a paperclip?
No, pure gold is softer than a paperclip. Gold is a malleable metal, which means it can be easily molded and bent by applying pressure. A paperclip is made of steel, which is much harder than gold.
Is a papeclip a conductor or insulator?
If something is a conductor or an insulator depends on the material, not its function. A metal paperclip will be a conductor, since metals are conductors. A plastic paperclip will be an insulator, since plastics generally are insulators.
