Solution

Properties of Magnets

  • 1) A magnet attracts magnetic materials towards itself.
  • 2) A freely suspended bar magnet always aligns in the north-south direction.
  • 3) Unlike poles attract each other and like poles repel each other.
  • 4) A magnet with a single pole does not exist. If a magnet is cut into two pieces each piece will behave like an independent magnet, with a north pole and a south pole.
  • 5) When a bar magnet is rubbed over an iron bar, it changes the iron bar into a magnet.
