A magnet won't pick up a penny because pennies are made of non-magnetic materials like copper and zinc, which are not attracted to magnets. Similarly, a magnet won't pick up a piece of wood because wood is also non-magnetic and does not have magnetic properties to be attracted to the magnet.

How do magnet make things lose it's power or charge?

it's hard to explain but basically the magnets electrons have been made to point all one way by dragging a powerful magnet over the piece of metal in 1 direction. so eventually the magnets electrons start to go back to normally so therefore it wont be magnetic. hope this helps you :)
