Metals not magnetic, but permeable will become magnets when near or touching a permanent magnet. You can stroke some metals in the same direction repeatedly on a magnet and make it a magnet.

Can magnets attract objects without touching them?

A magnet has a magnetic field around it. The magnetic field causes a magnetic force that can attract objects to the magnet.


An unmagnetized needle will not attract another unmagnetized needle but if one end of the needle is in contact with a magnet the other end will attract the other needle explain?

When one end of the unmagnetized needle is in contact with a magnet, the magnetic field from the magnet induces magnetism in the needle. This results in the end of the needle touching the magnet becoming a magnetic pole, and the other end becoming an opposite pole. The opposite poles attract each other, causing the unmagnetized needle to attract another needle when in contact with a magnet.


Can a magnet attract a object with out touching it?

yes of course why not? magnet creates a force of fluxes that affects the objects around it. So its a topic of the intermediate


Do opposite poles attract on magnet?

Yes. The "north pole" of one magnet will attract the "south pole" of another. Opposite charges attract, likecharges repel.


Will a magnet attract aluminium foil?

No, aluminum is a non ferrous. Only ferrous metals can be attracted to a magnet.


Is there a magnet only attract magnets?

all magnets attract ferrous metals (metals containing iron) and the opposite poles of another magnet.


What material will a magnet not pass through?

A magnet will not pass through materials that are not magnetic, such as wood, plastic, glass, or paper. Materials that are considered non-magnetic do not have magnetic properties that can attract or repel the magnet.


How could you make this bar magnet rotate without touching it?

by keeping another magnet or attractive force


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.


Will a north pole of a magnet against the north pole of another magnet attract or repel?

Repel.


What is the difference between iron and magnet?

Iron is a chemical element that is a metal and is found in many everyday objects. A magnet is an object that produces a magnetic field and can attract iron and other materials with magnetic properties. So, while iron is a material, a magnet is a tool that uses magnetic properties to attract certain materials.


How can a magnet and car attract?

A magnet can attract a car if the car contains ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, steel, or nickel. When the magnetic field of the magnet interacts with these materials, it induces a magnetic force that pulls the metal parts of the car towards the magnet. However, most modern cars have a variety of materials, and the effect may vary depending on the specific components present in the vehicle. Additionally, the strength of the magnet and the distance between the magnet and the car influence the attraction.
