When a magnet gets wet, the liquid acts as an electrical conductor when moving through the magnetic field and produces a voltage. You can test this theory by dropping a magnet in a fish bowl and watching the fish float to the top. Don't worry, it is only a mild electric shock and the fish should start swimming around again within a minute or so.

If a magnet gets wet, it may rust or corrode depending on the type of magnet. Water can cause the magnetic properties to weaken or be lost completely. It's best to dry the magnet thoroughly to try and preserve its function.
