Question

Can wood be magnetized?

Answer 1

Magnetic fields mediate a family of physical properties known as magnetism. A magnetic field is created by electric currents and the magnetic moments of elementary particles, which operates on other currents and magnetic moments. Electromagnetism is a multifaceted phenomenon that includes magnetism.

Complete answer:
Non-magnetic materials are those that are not attracted to a magnet. Nonmagnetic materials include plastic, rubber, water, and other compounds other than iron, nickel, and cobalt. Magnetization is not possible with non-magnetic materials. If a carpenter accidentally combines iron nails with wood shavings, magnetic separation may readily separate them. A magnet is placed near the mixture. Iron nails are attracted to the magnet and adhere to it, but hardwood shavings composed of non-magnetic material are not.
Most materials allow electric and magnetic lines to flow through, but not all metal shells and superconductors. So, while magnetism can pass through most materials, the magnetic field has some limits.
A magnet does not attract non-magnetic materials. Wood, plastic, and other non-magnetic materials are examples. Magnetization is not possible with non-magnetic materials. In magnetic fields, they react extremely slowly. Non-magnetic materials are made up of molecules in which electrons spinning in one direction are balanced by electrons spinning in the other. Wood is a non-magnetic substance. It cannot be magnetised or attracted to a magnet.

Note:
Magnets can be used to separate magnetic metals (iron, cobalt, and nickel) from non-magnetic metals in scrap and salvage operations (aluminum, non-ferrous alloys, etc.). The "magnet test," in which a car body is examined with a magnet to discover regions repaired with fibreglass or plastic putty, is based on the same concept.
