Does magnet attracts zinc?
no...only magnetic materials can be used as electromagnet...zinc is not a magnetic material
Will a magnet attract aluminium foil?
No, aluminum is a non ferrous. Only ferrous metals can be attracted to a magnet.
What do you call a magnet that only lasts a short time?
A temporary magnet is a magnet that only retains its magnetism for a limited period before losing its magnetic properties.
Why can't a magnet hold a piece of paper on a referigator?
A piece of paper is not magnetic, so it does not interact with the magnetic field produced by the magnet. The magnet can only attract materials that are magnetic or contain magnetic elements, like iron or steel.
Why does a magnet pick up paperclips only when it gets close?
A magnet only picks up paperclips when it gets close because the magnetic field produced by the magnet is strongest near its surface. As the paperclip gets closer, it enters the magnet's strong magnetic field and is attracted to it.
A magnetic material is?
A material that attracts a magnet. A magnetic material cannot repel, only attract.
Is it true that a magnet is an object that can exert force on another material?
Yes, it is true that a magnet is an object that can exert force on another material. However, it will only exert that force if it is made out of the correct material. Items made of iron are the most common magnetic objects.
Does magnet attracts zinc?
no...only magnetic materials can be used as electromagnet...zinc is not a magnetic material
Why are some objects attracted to magnets while other objects are not?
Some objects are not attracted by magnets because they are not metalic. If the Magnet just attracts metalic minerals, definitely only metalic are attracted and not non-metalic..
What m is a force that attracts iron?
Gravity is a force that attracts all matter.Magnetism attracts only a few elements.
How does a magnet attract objects?
Magnetic force. Now I know this is not a very satisfying answer, but it is the same sort of question as "why does gravity attract mass?" There are four fundamental forces, Gravity, Electromagnetism, the Atomic Strong and Weak forces. That's the universe we live in. So my suggestion is--just slide this one to the side for now.
A magnetic interaction only occurs if the interacting objects are touching?
False. Magnetic interactions can occur even when the interacting objects are not touching. Magnetic fields can exert forces on objects at a distance, such as between a magnet and a piece of metal.
Is knife a magnetic object?
Yes, in general terms at least. Anything magnetized behaves as a magnet.
What is a force that affects only objects with magnetic domains?
The force that affects only objects with magnetic domains is the magnetic force. This force arises from the interactions between the magnetic fields of objects with magnetic domains and can attract or repel objects with magnetic properties.
Why does a magnet attract an iron nail to either of its poles but attracts another magnet to only one of its poles?
it has no north or south end its neutral so it goes to both but other magnet has both N & S so it only connects to others N & S so = nail=E mag = N & S so E=N & S but S=N & E so S only goes to the N side of the magnet
What type of magnet attracts to iron but not for a long time?
A temporary magnet, such as an electromagnet, can attract iron but only for a short period of time. This type of magnet requires an external power source to create a magnetic field, which can be turned on and off as needed.
Does a magnet cause gravity?
the magnet's magnetic force (attraction) won't cause cause gravity. however, all objects impose a gravitational pull on other objects, but they can be so weak that we can not feel it. only objects of astronomical mass like the Earth can we feel it's gravititational pull. therfore, the magnet's magnetic force won't cause a gravitational pull, however the object itself would (if very small)
