Does gold stick to magnets?
No, pure gold does not stick to magnets. Scientists have measured gold’s volume magnetic susceptibility at about -3.44 × 10⁻⁵ at 20°C, which shows that gold is diamagnetic and weakly repels magnetic fields. Advanced techniques such as SQUID magnetometry and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism confirm this property. Some gold jewelry may react to magnets because […]
