What happens if you try to put a magnet on a non-magnetic material?

When a magnet is placed on a non-magnetic material, there is no magnetic attraction or interaction that occurs between them. Non-magnetic materials, such as plastic, wood, or glass, do not have the necessary magnetic domains or properties to respond to the magnet. As a result, the magnet does not exert any force on the non-magnetic material, leading to the magnet simply falling off if not otherwise secured. This underscores the distinction between magnetic and non-magnetic materials, highlighting that only ferromagnetic materials (like iron, nickel, or cobalt) will actively be attracted to a magnet, while non-magnetic materials remain unaffected.
