Question

uestion 24
Saba has 3 metal bars. To understand if they are magnets or not, she undertakes a small experiment and
holds the ends of the bars close to one another. The results of this experiment are plotted below.
BAR 1
BAR 2 BAR 3
Results:
End V (of Bar 1) End W (of Bar 2) Attracts
End V (of Bar 1) End X (of Bar 2) Repels
End V (of Bar 1) End Y (of Bar 3) Attracts
End V (of Bar 1) End Z (of Bar 3) Attracts
From the result above, conclude which bar(s) is/are magnetic? Give reason for your response

Answer 1

Answer:

Bar 1 and bar 2 are magnetic as they have an end that attracts and an end that repels. Bar 3 gets attracted from both ends, hence, it is not magnetic.
