In Reply to: Non-magnetic resistors? What makes them magnetic? Nt posted by Geoffkait on October 17, 2024 at 12:45:57:
of cheap resistors (and capacitors) can be ferrous and be attracted to a magnet. Especially vintage parts where there was not much concern for the quality of the leads. I don't know if a bulk metal foil resistor body per se can be magnetic.
