16.
A magnet attracts the ______________materials.
17.
A shepherd named _______________ discovered the magnet.
18.
The South pole of earth's magnet is near the geographical ________________pole.
19.
A freely suspended magnet always points in the
upside down
East-West direction
North-South direction
Any direction by chance
20.
Magnets have a shape of
cylindrical
horse-shoe
ball-ended magnet
All of these
21.
A bar magnet is immersed in a heap of iron filings and pulled out. The amount of iron filings Clinging to the
North pole is almost equal to the South pole
North pole is much less than the South pole
North pole is much less than the South pole
magnet will be same all along its length
22.
How is compass used to find directions?
23.
What will happen if a magnet is brought near a compass?
24.
Do the opposite poles attract or repel each other?
1.
With the help of a bar magnet, we can find the needle.
2.
The magnet which is used in electrical bell is horse-shoe magnet.
3.
A magnetic material can be magnetised by rubbing in a particular direction.
4.
When South pole of a magnet comes in contact with South pole of the other magnet, then it repels each other because like poles always repel each other.
5.
There are following two ways to demagnetise a magnet
(i) by heating
(ii) by hammering
6.
We can do simple experiment for this
(i) Take tea dust on a paper.
(ii) Take a bar magnet in your hand.
(iii) Shake the bar magnet over this dust.
(iv) If some particles are attracted strongly towards this magnet, then definitely tea dust will have iron powder.
7.
(i) Suresh is cooperative, intelligent and creative boy.
(ii) Some non-magnetic materials are plastic, stainless steel, glass, fibre, etc.
8.
It is a suggested way shown in figure below

U-shaped magnet is kept along with an iron piece while bar magnets are kept along with iron strips and magnets separated by wood along their length.
9.
If we face North pole towards the front side of the car and the car is attracted, it means its front side pole is South pole and if it is going away, it means its front side is North pole.
10.

Yes, two pieces will work as an individual magnet because a monopole (single pole) of magnet never exists
11.
The two ways to identify the magnet are
(i) Hang the metal bars with a thread and having its level horizontal one by one and let it stop in any direction. Now, if we move it by"pushing it slowly and it returns to the same direction, it means that it is a magnet otherwise it is an iron bar simply.
(ii) Take some iron filings and move the iron bars over these iron filings one by one. If iron filings are attracted very strongly at poles, then it is a magnet and if it is not attracted, then it is simply an iron bar.
12.
Steps involved in the magnetising of an iron strip are
(i) Take an iron strip which is to be magnetised.
(ii) Keep it in a wooden table.
(iii) Hold one end of bar magnet in your hand and keep the other end of bar magnet at one end of iron bar.
(iv) Without lifting, move the lower end of bar magnet to the end of iron bar.
(v) After reaching end of iron bar, lift the bar magnet and bring it to the same position and repeat the process again and again.
