you are given an iron strip. How will you make it into a magnet
Answers
The north facing end of the magnet is its north pole, and the south facing end is its south pole (as shown in the given figure). Hence, the unknown poles of a bar magnet can be marked by suspending it freely by a string. Question 8: You are given an iron strip.
Making a magnet: Take an iron strip and place it on the table. Now take a bar magnet and place one of its poles near one edge of the strip of iron. Without lifting it, move it along the length of the iron strip till you reach the other end. Now lift the magnet and bring the pole to the same point of the strip from where you began. Repeat the same process for about 40-50 times. Now you have made the iron strip to act as a magnet. To verify, bring some iron fillings near the iron strip. The strip will attract the fillings just like a magnet.
