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.


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

by keeping another magnet or attractive force


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.


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

Repel.


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.


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.


Can a magnet be in oil and still attract to iron?

Yes, a magnet can be submerged in oil and still attract iron. The presence of oil does not interfere with the magnetic field generated by the magnet, as oil is not a magnetic material. Therefore, the magnet will still be able to attract ferromagnetic materials like iron, regardless of being in oil.
