No, copper is not magnetic. However..... Copper is highly conductive and in the presence of a changing magnetic field there will be currents 'induced' in the copper (in accordance with Maxwells Equations) and that current will generate a magnetic field opposite in polarity to the field which has been applied.
i wonted too make a homopolar engine but im a litle confused is copper magnetic?

Copper is not magnetic. Copper will produce a magnetic field given a current running through a copper wire however.
Yes, copper is magnetic, but only to a certain extent.
Some metals cannot be attracted to a magnet.Such metals are considered non-magnetic.Examples are gold, aluminium, silver, and copper.
not really but there are ways you can make it magnetic.
i really dont know thats why im searching for answers.
no
