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.

Is silver doesnt stick to a magnet what does that mean?

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.


Will a magnet stick to alloy?

Whether a magnet will stick to an alloy depends on its composition. Alloys that contain ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, cobalt, or nickel, can be attracted to magnets. However, non-ferromagnetic alloys, like aluminum or certain stainless steels, will not be attracted to magnets. Thus, the magnetic properties of the specific alloy determine if a magnet will stick to it.


Will all conductors stick to a magnet?

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.


What will a magnet pick up?

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.

Why isn't a 1986 Canadian nickel non-magnetic?

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.

Do your fingers 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.


Will a magnet stick to aluminim?

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.


Does a magnet stick to a silver dollar?

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.


Will metal stick to a magnet?

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.


Will a Mexican cinco peso 720 stick to a magnet?

No, a Mexican cinco peso coin will not stick to a magnet. The coin is primarily made of a combination of nickel and brass, which are not magnetic materials. Therefore, it will not be attracted to a magnet.


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.
