Generally speaking, yes, steel is magnetic. But it should be noted that there are a number of steels that are notmagnetic. It is necessary to identify a type of steel before inquiring about its magnetic characteristics.

When you touch a magnet to a steel nail the nail attracts steel paper clips. Explaine why this does not happen when you use an aluminum nail?

it wouldn't be magnet to a aluminum nail because the aluminum is not a way of magnet and a steel nail would because steel is a way of magnet.


Can a magnet pick up steel bbs?

Yes, a magnet can pick up steel BBs because steel contains iron, which is a magnetic material. The magnet will attract the steel BBs due to their magnetic properties.


Can steel can attract with south pole magnet?

Yes, steel can be magnetized and will attract to a south pole magnet due to its ferromagnetic properties. When a steel material is in close proximity to a magnet, the magnetic domains within the steel align with the external magnetic field, leading to attraction between the two.


Will a magnet stick to steel wool brillo?

Yes, a magnet will stick to steel wool, including Brillo pads, because they are made from steel, which is a ferromagnetic material. When exposed to a magnetic field, the iron in the steel wool is attracted to the magnet, allowing it to stick.


Do a steel nail and a magnet stick together?

A steel nail and a magnet can stick together because steel is a ferromagnetic material. This means that it can be magnetized and will be attracted to a magnet. When a magnet is brought close to a steel nail, the magnetic field can cause the nail to become magnetized, leading to attraction. However, if the nail is not magnetized or if the magnet is too weak, they may not stick together.

Use a magnet. Brass is non ferrous and will not be attracted to the magnet.


How do you separate aluminium and steel cans?

Aluminium and steel cans can be separated using a magnet, as steel is magnetic while aluminium is not. By running a magnet over a pile of cans, the steel cans will be attracted to the magnet while the aluminium cans will not, allowing for easy separation.
