Why a changing magnetic field affects a metal but not something made of plastic?
Because the entire concept of magnetic field is based on the element IRON (and to a much lesser degree, Nickel). Iron content? (most metals): Magnetic. Plastic based? (no iron): Not magnetic. Simple as that.
Why will chalk dust sprinkled on a plastic sheet placed over a bar magnet NOT show the shape of the magnetic field?
Simple: chalk dust has no magnetic properties whatsoever, and is an insulator. As such, the magnetic field will flow right past it as if it weren't there, so it cannot position itself accordingly.
Do magnetic field lines close together indicate a weaker magnetic field?
No, magnetic field lines close together indicate a stronger magnetic field, while magnetic field lines farther apart indicate a weaker magnetic field. The density of field lines represents the strength of the magnetic field in that region.
Why does magnet attract iron nail but not plastic button?
Magnets attract iron nails because iron is a ferromagnetic material, meaning it can be magnetized and respond to magnetic fields. In contrast, plastic is a non-magnetic material that does not have the properties to be influenced by a magnet. Therefore, while the magnet induces a magnetic field in the iron nail, it has no effect on the plastic button.
Can the effect of a magnetic field can be observed using none metal filings?
Yes, the effect of a magnetic field can be observed using non-metal filings, such as certain types of plastic or composite materials that can be magnetized. When placed in a magnetic field, these materials can align themselves with the field lines, demonstrating the influence of the magnetic field. However, the visual effect may be less pronounced compared to using ferromagnetic materials like iron filings, which more vividly show the field's structure.
Does everything possess a magnetic field?
Not everything possesses a magnetic field. Materials that have magnetic properties, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt, can generate a magnetic field. Other materials, like wood or plastic, do not have magnetic fields.

What surrounds the wire with electric currents?
A magnetic field is created around the wire when electric current flows through it. This magnetic field is known as the magnetic field of the current-carrying wire.
How can an electromagnet attract plastic?
A pure hydrocarbon/fluorocarbon plastic contains no ferromagnetic material, so it will not be influenced by a magnet. If a plastic is loaded with ferromagnetic material (such as iron particles), then it will be influenced by an electromagnet. Ceramic materials loaded with ferromagentic materials, known as ferrites, are widely used in electrical and electronic equipment.
How does your credit card get erased?
A credit card is a piece of plastic with a strip of magnetic information on it. When this strip is exposed to a strong magnetic field, like in an MRI, PET scan, or CAT scan it can get erased because the magnetic field removes the magnetic information.
Which is none magnetic materials?
A non-magnetic matieral is one where there are no (or very few) free electrons to conduct the electro-magnetic field. One basic example is plastic.
What elements repel magnetic field?
Materials such as wood, plastic, glass, and rubber are non-magnetic and do not interact with magnetic fields. Additionally, materials with high electrical conductivity, like copper and aluminum, create their own magnetic fields that can counteract an external magnetic field, leading to repulsion.
What is the difference between magnetic materials and non-magnetic materials?
Magnetic materials are materials that can be magnetized and can create a magnetic field, such as iron and nickel. Non-magnetic materials do not respond to magnetic fields and cannot be magnetized, such as wood and plastic.
The area around an object that is affected by the magnetism of that object is the?
A Magnetic Force
Why will chalk dust sprinkled on a plastic sheet placed over a bar magnet NOT show the shape of the magnetic field?
Simple: chalk dust has no magnetic properties whatsoever, and is an insulator. As such, the magnetic field will flow right past it as if it weren't there, so it cannot position itself accordingly.
Region around a magnet in which magnetic force can act?
Magnetic freild
What materials can't electromagnets move?
Electromagnets cannot move non-magnetic materials such as wood, plastic, glass, and ceramics. These materials do not have magnetic properties, so they are not influenced by the magnetic field produced by the electromagnet.
