Determine which two of the following objects could not easily be turned into a magnet. A nickel coinA stainless steel spoonA piece of plasticAn aluminium drink canI'm not sure
Solution
A piece of plastic and a stainless steel spoon could not easily be turned into a magnet.
Here's why:
-
Plastic: Plastic is not a magnetic material. In other words, it cannot be made into a magnet. This is because it does not have the properties necessary to be attracted to magnets or to be magnetized.
-
Stainless Steel Spoon: While it's true that steel is often magnetic, most stainless steel used in cutlery is not. This is because it is usually made of an alloy (a mixture of metals) that includes chromium, which is not magnetic.
On the other hand, nickel and aluminum can be magnetized, although aluminum is a paramagnetic material, meaning it will only exhibit magnetic properties when in the presence of an externally applied magnetic field.

4. Your friend wants to perform a magic trick that requires a magnet to be strong enough to attract and move a toy car made of nickel across a tabletop when the magnet is placed underneath the table. (Note: Most toy cars are not made of metals, like nickel, that are attracted to magnets.) When your friend puts a permanent magnet under the table, it is not strong enough to move the car. What question should your friend ask in order to help solve this problem? aWhy do cars move?bDoes the car have a motor?cWhat kind of electricity is powering the car?dWill a larger magnet act with greater force on the car?
