Question

Explain how do you test if the given material is magnet or not?

Answer 1

Checking for magnet

1. Bring one pole of a bar magnet (let's say the south pole) close to both ends of the material.
2. If one end is attracted and the other end is repelled, the given substance is a magnet.
3. If both ends are attracted, the given substance is not a magnet.
4. If any of the ends are repelled then it must be a magnet, hence repulsion is a true checking of magnetization.
