What is it about certain materials that causes them to be attracted to a magnet?
Certain materials are attracted to magnets because they have magnetic properties that align with the magnetic field of the magnet, creating a force of attraction between the two. This attraction is due to the alignment of the magnetic domains within the material, which causes the material to be magnetized and attracted to the magnet.
Why do magnets only attract to certain metals?
Magnets rely on the semi-free transfer of electrons between the magnet itself and the magnetic object allowing the molecules to be aligned to the same orientation as the magnet. Metals are the most common source of such a material but are not the only elements out there that react to a magnetic field.
Would an electromagnet be attracted to a magnet?
Yes electromagnet would be attracted to a magnet provided direct current flows through the coil ie when the electromagnet is activated. As unlike poles attract each other the magnet is to placed accordingly. Otherwise repulsion would take place.
What causes a magnet to stick to some objects and not others?
north pole and south pole attract + south pole and north pole attract because opposites attract. two magnets repel each other when the same poles are pulling together. for example, north pole + north pole repel because they are the same.
How do you separate dust and iron dust?
Simple. With a magnet. The iron dust will simply be attracted to the magnet. To collect the iron dust neatly, get a plastic sandwich bag or a small plastic baggie, put the magnet inside, use it to collect the iron dust, then turn the bag inside-out and remove the magnet.
Can a magnet and metal propel?
Magnets are most commonly made out of metal, so yes, two metal magnets can repel. But metals such as iron are attracted to magnets even if the metal itself is not magnetized. Iron is attracted to both poles of a magnet, and it can not be repelled by a magnet.
Should pure nickel attract a magnet?
Yes, pure nickel is one of the few metals that's ferromagnetic; i.e. it's attracted to a magnet and can itself be magnetized. Iron and cobalt are the only other two common ferromagnetic metals. Gadolinium, neodymium and samarium are the remaining metals.
Why is a steel attracted to a magnet?
Magnets are just certain minerals that create a strong magnetic field. Everything in the universe, down to our atoms, creates a magnetic field (which is why you can't walk through walls, even though the atoms in you are relatively far apart from one another). Some metals (such as iron) have a magnetic field that is attracted to the field from a magnet. So, the two objects, if given the opportunity, will try to go nearer to each other.
Which pole of a magnet is attracted to iron?
Any of the two poles will work. It will induce magnetism in the iron.
What is it about certain materials that causes them to be attracted to a magnet?
Certain materials are attracted to magnets because they have magnetic properties that align with the magnetic field of the magnet, creating a force of attraction between the two. This attraction is due to the alignment of the magnetic domains within the material, which causes the material to be magnetized and attracted to the magnet.
Why are the two poles of a magnet attracted to each other?
different poles have different charges, and different charges are attracted to each other

What are two good conductors of energy that are not attracted to a magnet?
You should clarify what sort of energy you are talking about.
What will happen to a spherical magnet when it enters the magnetic field of a bar magnet?
The spherical magnet will experience a force that will try to align it with the magnetic field of the bar magnet. Depending on the orientation of the spherical magnet and the bar magnet, it may either be attracted or repelled. If the polarity of the two magnets is aligned, they will be attracted to each other; if the polarity is opposite, they will be repelled.
Would an electromagnet be attracted to a magnet?

If two magnets are attracted to one another and another two are repelling the two magnets that are being attracted can you move the 2 magnets by repelling it by the repelling magnet?
Yes. Just ensure the the like poles are facing each other. Like poles repel.The two magnets that are attracting are effectively one magnet.It would look like this:-([-magnet 1+]first pair attracting[-magnet 2+])++(+[magnet 1-]second pair repelling[-magnet 2+])+
What do magnets stick to and why?
Magnets stick to materials that are attracted to them, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt. This is due to the magnetic field produced by the magnet interacting with the magnetic properties of these materials, causing them to be drawn towards the magnet. Other materials that are not attracted to magnets, like wood or plastic, do not stick to magnets because their magnetic properties do not interact with the magnet's field.
