Are all metals magnetically charged?

First, magnets don’t involve charges, they involve poles. So the question should probably be “are all metals magnetically poled?” The answer to this question is that they are never poled—they never have a net pole. They always have an even balance of north and south pole. However, there are some metals that have their north and south poles separated from one another. A magnetized piece of steel is that way. Only a few metals can support such separated poles and we will study those metals in a few weeks.
