Metals and other magnets are the only objects that are attracted to magnets.

However, many metals are NOT attracted to magnets. Copper, stainless steel, brass, gold, silver, zinc, and aluminum are a few metals that are NOT attracted to magnets.

The best way to discover if the object will be attracted to a magnet is to introduce it to a magnet.

How do we know that an object is a magnetic object?

An object is considered a magnetic object if it is attracted to a magnet or if it has its own magnetic field that can interact with other magnetic fields. This can be tested by observing if the object is drawn toward a magnet, or by using a compass to detect any magnetic field it may produce.


How do you know when an object is magnetic or not?

Put a piece of iron close to it, if it is magentic an atractive force will apear. If you want to distinguis what kind of magnetic properties your object has (ferromagnetic, paramagnetic),... then you should use a magnetometer like for example SQUID.


What is the relationship between the distance from the magnet and the magnetic force?

The magnetic force between a magnet and another object decreases with increasing distance. This relationship follows an inverse square law, meaning that the force decreases exponentially as the distance between the magnet and the object increases.


When you know both speed and direction an object in motion you know the?

When you know both speed and direction of an object in motion, you know the velocity of the object. Velocity is a vector quantity that describes how fast an object is moving and in what direction.


Is Iodine attracted to magnet?

Oh, dude, iodine isn't attracted to magnets. I mean, it's not like iodine is out there swiping right on every magnet it sees, you know? Iodine is a non-magnetic element, so it's just chilling there, minding its own business, not getting pulled towards any magnets. So, yeah, no magnetic love affair happening between iodine and magnets.

How can you test if a material is magnetic?

Using a compass; You move the compass around the object and if the hand in the compass goes mad, then it is a magnet To test how something is magnetic: See if it sticks to a magnet. It will only be magnetic if it is made from nickle, iron or cobalt. Steel is also magnetic because it is made mostly from iron. Hope this helps x

How do you know if a 1972 Canada Dollar is silver?

Standard circulation strikes are made of almost pure nickel so they'll be attracted to a magnet. In addition the coins will have a slightly darker appearance similar to US nickel coins. Proof issues are part silver and won't be attracted to a magnet. These coins would normally be in protective packaging because they were never intended to circulate.


What is 94.3488 kg in mass?

If you are asking for a specific object then I am sorry I do not know. But I do know that any kind of mass (Cotton wool or lead) can be attracted by gravity to the center of the earth with a force of 94.3488 kg, if the object contains this amount of mass.


Why does a compass point in different directions?

Its ovious why a compass points in different directions. For example, if your going north, the compass points north because your going that direction. Theres also a magnet concealed in the compass. How does the compass know what direction yoiur going. Earth it self is a magnet. When you head that direction, it will point


Is picking up iron filings with a magnet a chemical reaction?

No, a chemical reaction is when the atoms are not mixed together but chemical bonded together. You know when a chemical reaction has happened when you can smell, hear or see things reacting.


How do you know if your 1939 US half dollar coin is silver?

It is. All half dollars made in 1964 and earlier are 90% silver.


How do you know you look good?

If the person you're attracted to, is attracted to you.


How can a compass be used to check the strength of an electromagnet?

see if a magnet will stick to it someone who knows stuff about magnets please improve this answer. I myself do not know because a magnet will not stick to a very weak magnet but it is still magnetic. EDIT why would you answer if you don't know the answer? You stroke a bar magnet on the material and after a while it either becomes magnetic or not. unless its already magnetic which you would know straight away because it would stick to the bar magnet. sorry if any of my answer doesnt make much sense ... hope i helped someone


Is it copper or what magnetic force around a magnet?

The magnetic force around a magnet can be a lot of things. Just some things are stronger and some are less strong. Copper is absolutely not magnetic at all, you can experiment that by trying to pick up a penny with a magnet. I am not sure what is the magnetic part of a magnet, but I think it might be close to iron. Something like that. I do know though what is attracted to magnets. Iron, bolt, paper clips, and the metal part on scissors.
