Welcome to the Nicholas County Circuit Clerk's Office. The Clerk of the Circuit Court is a full-time elective office as authorized by Article 8, Section 9 of the West Virginia Constitution. Circuit Clerks are elected for a period of six years and their duties, responsibilities and compensation are set by statute.
Brass is a metal alloy made of copper and zinc; the proportions of zinc and copper can be varied to create a range of brasses with varying properties. It is a substitutional alloy: atoms of the two constituents may replace each other within the same crystal structure.
Brass is a mixture of zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu). Both of these elements are not magnetic. When we mix zinc and copper to form the alloy brass, we also end up with a non-magnetic compound. So, brass is not magnetic. Like aluminum, copper, and zinc, brass does interact with moving magnets.
