How do you explain why a magnet will not attract to a plastic paper clip?
When you place magnets on a pencil they will usually not touch each other, this is because of their magnetism. It means you've placed the magnets on sides similar to each other; a magnet has two sides, a positive and a negative. If you place a positive with a negative, they stick together, but when you place a positive with a positive, or a negative with a negative, then they will push against each other. And since the magnets on the pencil have little room to move, when they push against each other they don't touch, and they seem to float.
