no it wont because copper is not a type of magnet even though it is a metal

Will a magnet stick to lead?
See question:How strong does a magnet have to be to affect lead?Lead (Pb) is a diamagnetic material. It means that it will behave magnetically just like wood or water. So it doesn't matter how strong a magnet is, it will never attract lead.What's more, it will even push it away, but with so little force that it is barely observable.The required magnet strength is also affected by the weight of the lead block. For example, about 10-20 Teslas will be enough to levitate a small piece of lead. But even this requires a huge magnet, considering your average fridge magnet is about 5 mTesla (0.005 Tesla) strong. Neodymium magnets can reach 1 Tesla.
Does magnet attract each other in space?
Yes. The force of attraction between two magnets, or between one magnet and a piece of magnetic material,has nothing to do with gravity or air. It's a completely unique phenomenon.
How can you tunna piece of iron in to a temporary magnet?
Wrap the iron with many turns of insulated copper wire. Then send a current through the wire. The iron core will become an electro-magnet while the electricity is running.
What effect would increasing the number of loops in a coil have on an electromagnet?
Putting a piece of iron or steel inside the coil makes the magnet strong enough to attract objects. The strength of an electromagnet can be increased by increasing the number of loops of wire around the iron core and by increasing the current or voltage.
How does iron become magnetic?
Iron is a magnetic material, which means that it can be attracted by magnets. To make it become magnetic so as to attract other objects (i.e. to function as a magnet), the process of magnetic induction can be used. This can involve stroking the iron rod with a magnet several times (e.g. 20 times) in a fixed direction.
How would you distinguish between soft iron a piece of copper and a magnet?
The soft iron and magnet will attract each other - the copper will not be attracted to either of the other two.
How can a magnet attract a piece of iron that is not magnet?
Iron is a magnetic material, it conducts metal.
Can a magnet attract to a demagnetized iron rod?
Yes. In this case, the magnet will induce magnetism in the iron, which is originally unmagnetized. Once the magnet is removed, the iron may return to an unmagnetized state; unless the magnetic field near the piece of iron is very strong.
How does the distance affect the ability of a magnet to attract a piece of iron?
Well I don;t know the correct terms,but I think the distance is sometimes affect cause if the magnet is small the force would be as strong as you think but if the magnet is large the magnetism would be stronger than the small magnet of pulling together.

Do opposite ends of a magnet attract or repel?
Then you will end up with two magnets, each half will be a new magnet, with both a north and a south pole. But the magnet will be weaker.
How can you figure out if a piece of metal is iron or aluminum?
Hold a magnet against it. magnets attract iron.
Where you get magnet?
To get a magnet.Magnets are available in nature.You can make a magnet by tying a piece of iron to a strong magnet for some time.You can also get a magnet by making an Electo-magnet or solenoid.
How do you create electricity at any place?
by moving a piece of magnet in between a copper coil.
How can you turn a piece of iron into a magnet?
To turn a piece of iron into a temporary magnet, wind a coil of (insulated) copper wire around it and run a DC current through the wire. The iron will become the core an electromagnet -- the one you just constructed. As long as direct current flows through the coil, the iron core will attract ferromagnetic materials.jkghyjy Wrap many coils of lacquered copper wire round an iron nail. When electricity is sent through the coils, the nail becomes magnetised. The iron is an electromagnet as long as the power is on. When a piece of iron is brought near the magnet it also becomes a temporary magnet.
A magnet attracts a piece of iron and the iron can then attract another piece of iron .What is the basis of this attraction?
When an iron piece is quite away from the magnet ,i.e, not present in magnetic field of the magnet then the iron piece is in neutral state ,i.e, there is no north & south pole . But , as soon as the iron piece interacts with magnetic field of magnet ,i.e, near to the magnet then the north pole of magnet make the nearer part or end of the iron piece south pole & simultaneously other part of iron becomes north pole . Similarly if south pole of the magnet interacts with iron piece then that end/part becomes north pole & other end becomes north pole . Now this iron piece has north & south pole .So iron piece is now converted into magnet which can attract other iron pieces in similar way as explained before .
How can you tell if a piece of iron is magnetized or neutral?
If the piece of metal is a magnet it will attract another piece of iron. You should be able to feel this attraction as the two become very close. It's magnetic field can be "seen"( that is the effect) by placing iron filings on a piece of glass and place the magnet beneath the glass. Otherwise it is not a magnet.
