Magnetic and Non-Magnetic Materials

The video tutorial explores which metals are magnetic and which are not. It uses a U-shaped magnet to test various metal objects, such as scissors, a key, a half-dollar coin, a paper clip, a safety pin, and a ball of aluminum foil. The demonstration reveals that scissors, paper clips, and safety pins are magnetic, while keys, coins, and aluminum foil are not. The video concludes with a general rule that metals containing iron, nickel, and cobalt are magnetic, whereas those made of aluminum, brass, copper, gold, and silver are non-magnetic.
