Answer:
I'm not exactly 100% sure sorry
It will be unaffected by the magnet because it has no magnetic field. If you were to maybe have electricity going through it is the only way it would have anything to do with the magnet.

Answer:
The elevator is not a inertial frame of reference.
Explanation:
Lets take load = W
The tension in the string =T
T= (1-0.1 )W
T=0.9 W
From Newtons second law
If elevator move up :
T- W = ma
T= W+ ma
It means that Tension is more than the W .But given that tension is 10% less than W.
If elevator move down:
W- T = m a
T= W - m a
Yes it is true.It means that elevator is moving downward.
So we can say that the elevator is not a inertial frame of reference.
