No. Because copper isn't ferromagnetic, it will not be magnetized by the magnet, and consequently the magnet and the copper will not be attracted to each other.

- tedsanders 13y agoA lot of reading, plumbing, and electrical work. But when things are running smoothly, we grow complex oxide crystals using pulsed laser deposition and then measure their magnetism with SQUIDs (superconducting quantum interference devices).
- Angostura 13y agoSo what would happen, minus the spin - straight through at roughly G?
