Hi,

Notrhing happens, they just remain on the hob as you placed them.

You must use pans with a magnetic base for them to work, i.e. if you place a magnet on the base it will stick to the pan.

The pans are not magnetic as such. They have to be made of a ferrous material (so, yes, it is true that a magnet will stick to them).

I have an induction hob and can tell you absolutely nothing will happen, There will be NO heat what so ever.
