Ferro magnetic materials (those attracted to magnets) have a special arrangement of their electrons which makes them susceptible to magnetic fields. Materials without this special electron structure are not affected my magnets or electric fields in the same way.

What is atracted to magnets?

Ferromagnetic materials such as iron, nickel, and cobalt are attracted to magnets due to their alignment of magnetic domains in the presence of a magnetic field. Other materials such as steel and some alloys can also be attracted to magnets to varying degrees.


How do magnets interact with objects made of different materials?

Magnets interact differently with objects based on their magnetic properties. Magnetic materials like iron and steel are attracted to magnets, while non-magnetic materials like wood and plastic are not. Some materials, like copper and aluminum, are weakly repelled by magnets due to their diamagnetic properties.


Difference between magnetic and non-magnetic materials?

Magnetic materials are attracted to magnets. These primarily include: steel, cobalt and nickel and some of their alloys magnets attract various other substances besides pure iron . Some ceramics have slight attraction to magnets. Non magnetic materials are not attracted to magnets. These include common metals such as copper, aluminum and brass. eg. non-magnetic substances are wood, glass, copper plastic and rubber
