Question

If one end of the rod is attracted by a magnet,one can conclude that the rod is a magnet. True Or False with statement

Answer 1

Answer:

here rod acts like a magnet coz of magnetic field created by the magnet.

Answer 2

It is false that, if one end of the rod is attracted by a magnet,one can conclude that the rod is a magnet.

• Attraction is not a valid reason to determine the presence of a magnet because attraction can also take place between a magnet and a ferromagnetic metal.

• Similarly,there are chances that the attracted rod is made out of ferromagnetic metal which can be also attracted by a magnet.

• The only solution for determining the magnetism of the rod is to test the rod with a normal ferrimagnetic material,if the rod becomes able to attract that material then we can confirm that the rod is a magnet.
