Can a magnet pick up aluminum?
No
Does a magnet pick up sterling silver?

Can any metal object be picked up by a magnet?
Magnets only pick up ferromagnetic materials. There are many metals that a magnet will not pick up. A magnet will pick up an iron nail but will not pick up a piece of copper wire. Magnets will only pick up Nickel, Cobalt, Iron, and Steel, if I remember my middle school science correctly.
Can you pick up a silver dollar with a magnet?
Only certain metals have an atomic arrangement that causes them to be attracted to a magnet. Nickel, iron, and steel are among the most common. Copper, gold, and silver are not arranged in a way that causes them to be attracted. True silver dollars (1935 and before) are 90% silver and 10% copper so they do not contain any magnetic metal. Modern dollar coins (1971 and later) aren't silver, they're mostly copper with the rest being nickel or manganese. There's not enough nickel in them to be attracted to a magnet.
Will a magnet pick up gold?
No gold is not ferro magnetic. So it will not be picked by a magnet
How far can a magnet pull up to?
it can pick up anything with iron nickel or cobalt
Can a magnet pick up aluminum?
No
Can magnets pick up nickel?
Normally nickel plating is applied to base metals that aren't attracted to a magnet. At the atomic level the plating itself is attracted but it's such a small amount of the total composition that the entire item won't stick to a magnet. The nickel component of US nickels (and nickel-clad coins such as dimes, quarters, and half-dollars) is so low that the coins aren't attracted for the same reason. Nickel metal makes up only 25% of a nickel coin and 8% of the other coins.
What are the metals that a magnet will pick up?
Iron and Nickel are two of them. You can say steel since it is mostly made of iron.
What metals would a magnet not pick up?
A magnet will not pick up non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, gold, or silver as they are not magnetic. Additionally, stainless steel, which contains a higher proportion of chromium and nickel, is typically not magnetic and will not be picked up by a magnet.
Does a magnet pick up sterling silver?
No, magnets do not attract sterling silver.

What are four materials that can be attracted to magnets?
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.
How many paperclips can a bar magnet pick up?
The number of paperclips a bar magnet can pick up will depend on the strength of the magnet and the size of the paperclips. In general, a typical bar magnet can pick up several small paperclips at once.

Can scrap heap magnets pick up cobalt?
Yes, scrap heap magnets can pick up cobalt because cobalt is ferromagnetic, meaning it can be attracted to magnets. The strength of the magnet and the amount of cobalt present will determine how easily it can be picked up.
Can a alumiminum can be picked up by a magnet?
no,it can not be picked by a magnet because it is not made of iron, steel, nickel ,& copper
