Tantalum itself is not magnetic (does not generate the magnetic field); however, it is a paramagnetic material...meaning it will react to a magnetic field.

As a metallurgist familiar with both tantalum and her sister metal niobium (they are usually found together), I can say that tantalum is the foundation of modern electrolytic capacitors (excluding the huge aluminum capacitors for power applications). It's unlikely that you'd be reading this now if tantalum didn't exist. Physical characteristics? It's kind of green. It's heavy (16.6 g/cc) . It's a getter, meaning it sucks up oxygen like a sponge. (This is why it makes good capacitors; tantalum pentoxide is a very good dielectric film -- but only if you know how to grow a smooth one.) A wonderful metal in some respects, diabolical in others.
A Magnetic Force
Gold is not magnetic as it is a diamagnetic material, meaning it does not have a magnetic field of its own and is not attracted to magnets.
Magnetic objects have domains of aligned magnetic moments that create a magnetic field, while non-magnetic objects have randomly oriented magnetic moments that cancel each other out. Additionally, magnetic objects can be attracted to or repelled by magnets, whereas non-magnetic objects are not affected by magnetic fields.
A magnetic pole is where the magnetic effect is greatest.
Yes, tantalum is usable in medical imaging, particularly in MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) applications. Its non-magnetic properties and biocompatibility make it suitable for certain medical implants and devices. However, care must be taken to ensure that any tantalum components are properly designed to avoid artifacts in MRI images.
