I have copper wire which I bought in a hardware but when I put it next to a regular magnet, there is no attraction!Maybe it only reacts to a Neo magnet?
No, copper is not magnetic. There should not be any attraction between copper wire (or copper) anything and a magnet (of any kind). You can run an electrical current through a coil of copper wire and make an electromagnet. But on its own, copper is not magnetic.
