Besides seeing what effect a strong magnet has on different metals, try and find out the effect it has on different minerals. A great source of minerals is found in the shops of most public, natural and science ... What did you find out? Do you now have a fairly extensive list of things magnets can and cannot attract?

Why does a magnet attract objects made up only of iron, nickel or cobalt and not any other metal? Do magnets conduct electricity? If no, why? If yes, what happens to the magnetic lines of forces? Is it possible to make materials which attract metals like copper, aluminum and others which are not attracted by iron?

So, why are ferromagnetic metals attracted by magnetic fields? ... This gives the piece of iron a big magnetic field, too, and then the two magnets attract. 5. If enough domains turn around and align, the iron will still stay a magnet after the first magnet goes away. So now you might wonder about all the rules for the...

A unique collection of intriguing questions on physics, light, sound, colour and more...! ... Q: A magnet will attract certain kinds of metals, but is there some material which can naturally attract absolutely anything, without having to resort to gravity? Is there any theoretical chance of this (perhaps with nanotechnology)?
