What metal cannot be magnetized?

Answer 1

Non-ferrous metals do not contain iron(Fe) and are therefore not ferromagnetic. Most common of these are copper, silver, aluminium, lead, magnesium, platinum and tungsten. Magnetic fields can produce reactions in all materials, however, and these fall into three general categories: # Ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, cobalt, and nickel, which have a large positive magnetic susceptibility, and are capable of being magnetised by weak magnetic fields. # Paramagnetic materials, such as aluminum, magnesium, and platinum, which have a positive magnetic susceptibility due to molecules or atoms in which there are unpaired electrons, resulting in a magnetic moment contributed to by the spin or orbital motion of the electron. # Diamagnetic materials, such as copper, lead, and silver, which have a negative magnetic susceptibility caused by the motion of electrons in atoms around the nuclei, as they change their orbits and velocities to produce a magnetic field that opposes an applied field.

Answer 2

anything that does not have iron, cobalt, or nickel in it for permanent magnet and anywire carrying a current has a magnetic field and if you wrap it around an iron, cobalt, or nickel core it can become magnetic. the stronger the current through the wire and the longer its going on the stronger it will be

Answer 3

Non-ferrous metals do not contain iron(Fe) and are therefore not ferromagnetic.

Most common of these are copper, silver, aluminium, lead, magnesium, platinum and tungsten.

Magnetic fields can produce reactions in all materials, however, and these fall into three general categories:

1. Ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, cobalt, and nickel, which have a large positive magnetic susceptibility, and are capable of being magnetised by weak magnetic fields.
2. Paramagnetic materials, such as aluminum, magnesium, and platinum, which have a positive magnetic susceptibility due to molecules or atoms in which there are unpaired electrons, resulting in a magnetic moment contributed to by the spin or orbital motion of the electron.
3. Diamagnetic materials, such as copper, lead, and silver, which have a negative magnetic susceptibility caused by the motion of electrons in atoms around the nuclei, as they change their orbits and velocities to produce a magnetic field that opposes an applied field.

Answer 4

Pretty much everything has a magnetic response of some kind and fall into four broad categories:

Ferromagnetic - Like carbon steel, Iron. You apply a magnetic field to it and when you take that field away the material stays magnetized.

Antiferromagnetic - Apply a field and the sample will have a magnetic response that opposes the applied field, the magnetisation remains once the applied field is removed.

Paramagnetic - Apply a magnetic field and the sample will have a magnetic response that aligns with the field but take away the applied field and the sample will not stay magnetised

Diamagnetic - Apply a field and the sample will have a magnetic response that opposes the applied field. Take away the applied field and the sample does not stay magnetised.

So, really, everything has a magnetic response, but if you are asking what can't be permanently magnetised then anything that is paramagnetic or diamagnetic - like wood, plastics, jam, cotton.

Answer 5

Stainless steel contains iron but has a composition that makes it resistant to magnetization. This is due to the arrangement of its atoms that prevent the alignment needed for magnetization.
