Can Magnets Work Through Wood

So magnetism travels through most materials but the magnetic field still has some limitations.

Can magnets work through wood. The electric and magnetic lines can pass through most materials but it cannot pass through all metal shells and superconductors. A bar magnet the stronger the better. Magnets can pick things up through a sheet of copper or wood. Magnets does not attract wood because wood is not any of the items used for magnent things like iron attract to magnets asked in physics magnetism do magnets work in outer space.

The magnetic force or magnetism can pass through thin sheets of non magnetic objects such as paper glass or wood. Paper card wood plastic glass aluminium steel and a beaker of water fill to approx. If it cant pick up small things through wood its too weak a magnet for the thickness of wood used. For each research group four students per group.

Change one or the other. Approximately ten paper clips. Yes as magnetic lines of force can easily pass through a non magnetic substance. The fact that a material is an insulator or a conductor has no effect on the static pull of a magnet.

We do not recommend using magnets this powerful to hold something to a wood door. A range of sheets of different materials of varying thickness including. However it depends on the thickness of the non magnetic substance and on the strength of the magnet. However if the magnet is too weak and the material is too thick the magnetic force may not be able to pass through.

A range of sheets of different materials of uniform thickness approx.
