why dont other objects get attracted to each other like iron and magnet

Open in App
Solution

Iron, nickle and cobolt are the magnetic substances so they get attracted by the magnet.The reason for this is as soon as magnetic force acts on them, the tiny dipoles of these substances allign themselves in the magnetic field strongly. Othe metals or substances do not allign in the direction of magnetic field on subjecting them to magnetic field, so are not attracted by the magnet.
