Answer :
Iron, nickel and cobalt are mostly the metals that are attracted by magnets.They possess high magnetism.
Magnetic materials are attracted by a magnet.
- Magnetic materials are attracted to magnets because they have the potential of generating a magnetic field.
- When the external magnetic force is applied to these materials, the electrons present in them become small magnets themselves.
- They start following the path of the magnetic field and resulting in them turning into a magnet.
- e.g. iron, cobalt, nickel, etc.
