Can magnets stick to aluminium?
yes.......! i guess its yes because aluminum is a metal and all the metals are attracted by magnets so hence aluminum get attracted to metals...!
Does magnet always attract silver?
Silver is a not magnetic metal - the most highly magnetic metal is iron - so no unless the cores of the coins are iron
Why can't a magnet pick up a dime?
Magnets only attract certain kinds of metals, mostly ferrous metals such as iron and steel, as well as pure nickel. US dimes are mostly made of copper with a small amount of nickel, not enough to be attracted to a magnet.
Why can magnets only attract pins and not matches?
MAGNETS ATTRACT IRON! The pin is made of an iron so it is able to attract to the magnet. The match on the other hand, is made of cardboard paper substance. Paper and cardboard both DO NOT contain iron. That is why magnets attract pins but not matches.
Are all magnets made of metal?
No, not all magnets are made of metal. Some magnets, such as ceramic magnets or neodymium magnets, are made of non-metal materials. These types of magnets have different properties and strengths compared to traditional metal magnets.
Is the element nickel found in magnets?
Nickel is a ferromagnetic material, like iron and cobalt, so quite a few magnets have nickel in them. Nickel shows strong magnetic properties up to 355°C (671°F).Nickel is also a major constituent of Alnico, which is an alloy of Aluminum, Nickel and Cobalt. This alloy is widely used in magnets. Alnico magnets are found in industrial and consumer applications where strong permanent magnets are needed like in electric motors, guitar pickups, microphones, sensors, loudspeakers, etc.If not used directly in the magnet, Nickel is often used to plate magnets. Some common Nickel-plated magnets include Alnicos, Samarium Cobalt, and Neodymium Iron Boron
Does real gold and silver stick to magnets?
No, real gold and silver are not magnetic materials, so they do not stick to magnets. Magnets only attract materials that contain iron, nickel, or cobalt.
Can magnets stick to aluminium?
yes.......! i guess its yes because aluminum is a metal and all the metals are attracted by magnets so hence aluminum get attracted to metals...!
What materials are used to make magnets?
The most common permanent magnets are: neodymium magnets, which are composed of neodymium, iron and boron; Samarium Cobalt magnets, which are composed of samarium, cobalt and iron; and ceramic magnets. Here is a link to information about the first 2 which are called rare earth magnets.
Does magnet always attract silver?
Silver is a not magnetic metal - the most highly magnetic metal is iron - so no unless the cores of the coins are iron
Is copper a magnetic material?
Cu is slightly diamagnetic -- has a small tendency to repel magnets, so no, not a magnetic material.
Why can't a magnet pick up a dime?
Magnets only attract certain kinds of metals, mostly ferrous metals such as iron and steel, as well as pure nickel. US dimes are mostly made of copper with a small amount of nickel, not enough to be attracted to a magnet.
Is gold used in magnets?
Gold is not typically used in magnets. The most common materials used in magnets are iron, nickel, and cobalt, due to their magnetic properties. Gold is not inherently magnetic, so it is not a practical material for use in magnets.
Can magnets pick up nickel?
Normally nickel plating is applied to base metals that aren't attracted to a magnet. At the atomic level the plating itself is attracted but it's such a small amount of the total composition that the entire item won't stick to a magnet. The nickel component of US nickels (and nickel-clad coins such as dimes, quarters, and half-dollars) is so low that the coins aren't attracted for the same reason. Nickel metal makes up only 25% of a nickel coin and 8% of the other coins.
Why can magnets only attract pins and not matches?

Can a magnet pick up aluminum?
No
Does a magnet stick to zinc?
No. Only to iron and other ferromagnetic materials. Or if you form the aluminum into a coil and pass a current through it, then you have an electromagnet, which would be attracted to a magnet.
