Is copper a magnetic material?

Question: Is copper a magnetic material?

Ans: NO. Copper is not magnetic unless it is mixed with a magnetic metal, such as iron or nickel.erial

Question: How could you test for the statement?

Ans: Copper is not a magnetic material. You can test this out by using the strongest magnet that you can find to pick up copper materials such as copper coins or copper wires. The magnet will not be able to attract these copper items, thus showing that copper is a non-magnetic metal. Magnetic materials such as iron nails and paperclips are easily attracted to the magnet.uld i test for the statement?
