Materials can be classified based on their response towards a magnet.
If the material gets attracted toward a magnet then it is known as magnetic material.
If the material does not get attracted toward a magnet then it is called a nonmagnetic material.
Some examples of magnetic materials are iron, coin, nails, etc. and examples of nonmagnetic materials are plastic, wood, paper, etc.
