because i learned it in class and my teacher told the class that magnets only stick to iron or steel and teachers DO NOT LIE.
Yes, paper clips are typically made of steel which is magnetic, so they can stick to magnets.
Steel contains iron, which is ferromagnetic and can be magnetized. Aluminum, on the other hand, is not ferromagnetic but paramagnetic, so it is not attracted to magnets. This difference in magnetic properties explains why steel sticks to magnets but aluminum does not.
Materials that typically stick to iron include magnets, certain metals like steel, and some adhesives designed specifically for iron surfaces. However, other materials like plastic or wood do not naturally stick to iron.
It can. It can be magnetized. Both surfaces can be polished, and they will "ring in". It just has a fairly low coefficient of friction, which is great for moving heavy loads on train tracks... with low energy costs. another input: It can, through the process of "welding"
Magnets stick to a magnet or things that has iron in it
They stick to other magnets or iron, cobalt and nickel.
Magnets stick to any metal that contains iron, not just steel. This includes metals like iron, nickel, and cobalt. However, some metals like aluminum, copper, and gold are not magnetic and magnets will not stick to them.
Because refrigerators are made of steel (iron) even though they have nice finish on the outside and magnets are attracted to steel (iron).
Refrigerators are made of steel, which is mostly iron, and iron is magnetic.
Yes, magnets can stick to wrought iron because it contains a small amount of ferrous material that is attracted to magnets. However, wrought iron is not as magnetic as steel, which contains a higher percentage of iron.
Any five items made primarily of iron (or steel, which itself is mostly iron).
Iron and its alloys (e.g. steel) are attracted to magnets
Yes, paper clips are typically made of steel which is magnetic, so they can stick to magnets.
Magnets will stick to materials that contain iron, nickel, or cobalt. Some examples include steel, iron, nickel, and some alloys. Materials like copper, aluminum, and plastic are not attracted to magnets.
No, your fingers cannot stick to a magnet. Only iron or steel objects will stick to a magnet. Your fingers do not have those materials, so it will not stick to a magnet.
Stainless steel typically has a lower iron content, which is needed for magnets to stick. The chromium in stainless steel forms a barrier preventing the magnetic force from attracting to the material.
Yes, if the wrench is made of a ferromagnetic material like iron or steel, a magnet will stick to it. This is because ferromagnetic materials can be magnetized and attract other magnets.
