Explain why a small magnet will stick to a refrigerator door, but a nail will not stick.

A small magnet will stick to a refrigerator door, but a nail will not stick

because magnets attract certain types of metals.

Magnets have a strong magnetic field which is why it attracts metals such

as iron and steel. The refrigerator must have been made with iron or steel

which was why the magnet stuck to it.

Metals such as aluminium and copper aren't attracted by magnets which is

why the nails weren't attracted as a result of it being made with metals which magnets don't attract.

Magnets stick to the fridge door because, underneath the paint, the door is made of steel. Magnets are attracted to certain metals, and if the attraction is strong enough they can hold on even when upside down. ... This means that a magnet will always be attracted to the door. But an iron nail does not have any magnetic properties. So it doesnt get attracted.
