There are no special types of magnetic field - the shape and strength of the field may vary, but the fundamental quality of the field is the same.
The reason why stainless steel is not picked up by a magnet is that stainless steels are mostly not ferromagnetic, and therefore have no strong interaction with a magnetic field.
Although paramagnetic and diamagnetic materials do interact with this field, it is very weak; nowhere near enough to lift the weight of the material.
What else can I help you with?
Would a magnet stick to stainless steel?
Yes, stainless steel is not magnetic in the same way as materials like iron, nickel, and cobalt. A regular magnet will not stick to stainless steel, although some types of stainless steel can become weakly magnetic through processes like cold-working.
What kind of necklace will not stick to magnet?
A necklace made of materials such as gold, silver, or stainless steel will not stick to a magnet because these metals are not magnetic. Magnetic materials such as iron, nickel, and cobalt will stick to a magnet.
Will steel stick to a magnet?
yes, generally stainless steel is magnetic
Can magnets be put on a stainless steel refrigerator?
Yes, magnets can typically be put on a stainless steel refrigerator. However, not all stainless steel is magnetic, so it would depend on the specific alloy used to make the refrigerator. If the stainless steel refrigerator is magnetic, magnets will stick to it.
How come magnets don't stick to stainless steel?
Stainless steel typically has a lower iron content, which is needed for magnets to stick. The chromium in stainless steel forms a barrier preventing the magnetic force from attracting to the material.
Do steel wire screen sticks to magnet?
Steel will stick to magnets, but stainless steel will not.
How can you tell the difference between ALUMNIUM and stainless steel?
Grab a small magnet. It will stick to stainless steel - it won't stick to aluminum.
Would a magnet stick to stainless steel?
Yes, stainless steel is not magnetic in the same way as materials like iron, nickel, and cobalt. A regular magnet will not stick to stainless steel, although some types of stainless steel can become weakly magnetic through processes like cold-working.
Would a magnet stick to stainless still?
Some types of stainless steel are magnetic and some are not. Details are available via the stainless steel article on wikipedia.
What kind of necklace will not stick to magnet?
A necklace made of materials such as gold, silver, or stainless steel will not stick to a magnet because these metals are not magnetic. Magnetic materials such as iron, nickel, and cobalt will stick to a magnet.
Will steel stick to a magnet?
yes, generally stainless steel is magnetic
Magnets stick to my stainless steel fridge door. KitchenAid says it is made of Stainless steel Not look alike. Is my fridge door is really Stainless Steel?
it is possible that you fridge may be a look alike. however, some stainless steel fridges do attract magnets, but you would need a stronger magnet then just an average kids type of alphabet magnet. hope this helps :)
Why does a magnet stick to stainless steel or to steel?
In general, magnets will stick to steel. There are many stainless alloy steels that are non-magnetic, however. Most stainless steels have a metallic crystal structure that gives them few or no magnetic properties.
How do you tell what are aluminum wheels?
If the wheels are steel, a magnet will stick. If aluminum, it will not.If the wheels are steel, a magnet will stick. If aluminum, it will not.
Can magnets be put on a stainless steel refrigerator?
Yes, magnets can typically be put on a stainless steel refrigerator. However, not all stainless steel is magnetic, so it would depend on the specific alloy used to make the refrigerator. If the stainless steel refrigerator is magnetic, magnets will stick to it.
How do you tell if your wheels are chrome or aluminum.?
Use a magnet. If it sticks it's chrome. If not, it's polished aluminum.
Will a magnet stick to galvanized steel?
Yes, a magnet will stick to galvanized steel. Galvanized steel is steel that has been dipped in molten zinc so it comes out with a zinc coating. (The zinc coating inhibits corrosion.) A magnetic can "reach through" this coating and stick to the steel.
