Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
True or False:All metals stick to magnets.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Magnets do not attract all metallic objects. They can only attract magnetic materials like iron, cobalt and nickel.

Detailed explanation-2: -Certain metals in their natural states such as aluminium, copper, brass, lead gold, and silver don’t attract magnets due to the fact they are weak metals. However, properties including iron and steel can be added to these metals in order to make them magnetic.

Detailed explanation-3: -Magnetic materials are always made of metal, but not all metals are magnetic. Iron is magnetic, so any metal with iron in it will be attracted to a magnet. Steel contains iron, so a steel paperclip will be attracted to a magnet too. Most other metals, for example aluminium, copper and gold, are NOT magnetic.

Detailed explanation-4: -All magnets have north and south poles. Opposite poles are attracted to each other, while the same poles repel each other. When you rub a piece of iron along a magnet, the north-seeking poles of the atoms in the iron line up in the same direction. The force generated by the aligned atoms creates a magnetic field.

Detailed explanation-5: -Magnetism. Magnet attract all metals : FALSE, magnetic materials are always made of meta, but not all metals are magnetic such as iron is magnetic while copper is not magnetic.
