Yes, copper is a type of magnet. not very strong if its a coin but strong enough to be attracted to another metal e.g: oid LOL or iron.

you can make a magnet by stroking iron! proper fascinating.

Can a magnet pick up a coin that is 60 percent silver and 40 percent copper?

Yes, a magnet can pick up a coin that is 60 percent silver and 40 percent copper because neither silver nor copper are attracted to magnets. Magnets attract materials that contain iron or other ferromagnetic elements. Silver and copper are not ferromagnetic and thus are not attracted to magnets.


Can a North Pole of a magnet attract copper?

No, a North Pole of a magnet cannot attract copper. Copper is a non-magnetic material, meaning it does not have magnetic properties that would allow it to be attracted to a magnet. However, while copper itself isn't attracted to magnets, it can exhibit some electromagnetic effects when in motion relative to a magnetic field, such as inducing eddy currents.


How would you distinguish between soft iron a piece of copper and a magnet?

Soft iron will not have any magnetic properties unless it is magnetized, while a piece of copper will not be attracted to a magnet at all. A magnet will attract both soft iron and copper, but the attraction will be stronger for the soft iron due to its ability to become magnetized.


Does a magnet attract dime?

No, a magnet does not attract a dime. Dimes are made primarily of a copper-nickel alloy, which is not magnetic. Only materials that contain ferromagnetic metals, like iron, cobalt, or nickel, will be attracted to a magnet.


How can you tell the difference between a bar of iron a bar of copper and a magnet?

You can differentiate between a bar of iron and a bar of copper by testing their magnetic properties - iron is attracted to magnets, while copper is not. A bar magnet will attract small iron objects, while a bar of copper will not be attracted.

Why magnet can attract 1 cent coin although it is a non magnetic object?

This is because modern pennies are not entirely copper, they are nickel with a copper coating.

Can magnet attract copper carbonate?

No, copper carbonate is not magnetic so it will not be attracted by a magnet. In order for an object to be attracted by a magnet, it needs to have magnetic properties, which copper carbonate does not possess.


What happens when a magnet touches copper?

When a magnet touches copper, there is no attraction or repulsion between them. This is because copper is not a magnetic material, so it does not interact with the magnetic field produced by the magnet.


Does magnet attract brass?

Brass is made of copper and zinc, and is NOT magnetic.


Does copper attract with the south pole of a magnet?

No, copper is not magnetic.ANS2:Copper is not a magnetic metal so the only ways it would be affected would be through electromagnetism or if the copper were part of a magnetic alloy.
