Homework Statement
A) Which of these materials will feel a force from a permanent magnet - wood, aluminum or steel?
B) Will the materials that are attracted by the magnet be attracted to the north pole of the magnet, the south pole, or both?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Aluminum and steel are both metals, so wouldn't they both experience a force from the magnet? Or is it the case that they both experience the magnet attraction but a magnetic force is something different?
Clarification would be greatly appreciated.
