From 1982 to 1999 all Canadian nickels were made out of the same 75% copper / 25% nickel alloy used in US nickels. That alloy doesn't contain enough nickel to be attracted to a magnet.
Silver is not magnetic, which means it cannot be attracted by a magnet. This property is due to the arrangement of its electrons that does not create a magnetic field. So, if silver does not stick to a magnet, it simply indicates that it is not a magnetic material.
No, not all conductors will stick to a magnet. Only ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt will be attracted to a magnet. Other conductors, like copper and aluminum, are not magnetically attracted because they are not ferromagnetic.
Magnets stick to a magnet or things that has iron in it
a magnet will pick up another magnet. magnet will stick to iron. Fun Activity: if you have more than one magnet you can play a trick to your friends. you just need one magnet under a iron desk and put another magnet over on top of the desk. once you did that make sure that your friends doesnt see your hand under the desk and touching the magnet. slowly move the magnet under the desk so that it doesnt make lots of noise. then once you move the magnet under the desk the other magnet that is on top of it on the desk will move.
it could pick up paper clips, a nail, a soda can, another magnet, a silver dollar, a metal hanger, a key, a gold necklace, and a teacher's bell.
Yes but try a Canadian nickel because american nickels a 75% copper
Yes the 1865 III nickel cent will stick to a magnet because nickel is magnetic.
Iron, nickel, & cobalt.
Unlike their American counterparts, Canadian nickels were struck in either steel or almost pure nickel from 1922 to 1942 and from 1944 to 1981. Both of those metals are attracted to a magnet. US nickels are actually 75% copper, so they don't stick to a magnet.
Use a magnet. If the gun is nickel plated, a magnet will stick to it.
A necklace made of materials such as gold, silver, or stainless steel will not stick to a magnet because these metals are not magnetic. Magnetic materials such as iron, nickel, and cobalt will stick to a magnet.
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.
No, aluminum is not magnetic so a magnet will not stick to it. Magnetism occurs in materials that are ferromagnetic, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt.
If you're referring to true US or Canadian silver dollars made of silver and copper, the answer is no. Neither metal has the correct atomic structure to be attracted to a magnet. Modern US $1 coins are either cupronickel (1971-81 and 1999) or manganese brass. The latter is not attracted to a magnet, and while high-purity nickel alloys can stick the percentage of nickel in the older coins is too low - only about 8%. In contrast, modern Canadian $1 coins were mostly nickel and are now mostly steel so they are attracted.
Metal materials containing iron, nickel, or cobalt will stick to a magnet due to their magnetic properties. Other metals like aluminum, copper, and gold are not magnetic and will not stick to a magnet.
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.
Materials which contain iron, generally. These metals that work with a magnet are generally called "Ferrous" metals
