Question

Do magnets attract magnetic materials by inducing magnetism in them?

Answer 1

Induced Magnetism: When a permanent magnet is brought near a magnetic material like iron without touching it, the iron rod behaves like a magnet and attracts iron filings, clips towards itself. ... The magnetism acquired by a magnetic material when it is kept near a magnet is called induced magnetism

Answer 2

This magnetic field is invisible but is responsible for the most notable property of a magnet: a force that pulls on other ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, and attracts or repels other magnets. A permanent magnet is an object made from a material that is magnetized and creates its own persistent magnetic field.
