The picture shown is an electromagnet and 2 paper clips that are the same size and are made up the same materials which is most likely reason that paper. Clip why does not move towards the magnet
1 answer
There could be several reasons why the paper clip is not moving towards the magnet. One possibility could be that the magnet does not have sufficient magnetic strength to attract the paper clip. Another possibility could be that the distance between the magnet and the paper clip is too large, and the magnetic force is not strong enough to overcome the gravitational force pulling the paper clip downwards. Additionally, if the paper clip is already magnetized, it may have its own magnetic field that is repelling it from the electromagnet.
