Answer 1

Answers of Fill in the blanks:

1. Name given to the natural magnet discovered in Magnesia, Greece.

• A shepherd discovered the ores which were attracting the iron/magnetic metals. The name of the ores was given after the name of the city.

2. Metals which can be magnetized are magnetic metals.

• Some metals are Iron, Cobalt, Nickel and even some metals exhibit the magnetic property.

3. Every magnet has two poles (North & South)

• The poles are the ends of the magnet. They have the maximum magnetic property. Additionally they also show directional property (always points in N-S direction)

4. The force of attraction of a magnet is strongest at the poles (North & South poles)

• As we discussed above, the magnetic field lines are accumulated and at minimum distance which shows maximum Magnetism.

5. Like poles of magnets repel each other.

• Similarly unlike poles attract each other. This can be seen in case of electrostatic force too.
