Question

Statement 1: Magnetic property possessed by a magnetic substance due to the presence of a magnet, is called magnetic induction.
Statement 2: Magnetic properties can also be induced in non magnetic materials.

• A.
  Only statement 2 is correct.
• B.
  Both statements are correct.
• C.
  Only statement 1 is correct.
• D.
  Both statements are incorrect.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Only statement 1 is correct.
Magnetic property possessed by a magnetic substance due to the presence of a magnet near it, is called magnetic induction.
When a steel safety pin is brought close to one pole of a bar magnet it gets attached to the magnet. Now when an alpin is touched to the safety pin, the safety pin behave as a magnet and attracts the alpin. This happens due to magnetic induction.
So, statement 1 is correct.

But, magnetic induction does not take place in non magnetic material also non magnetic materials cannot be magnetised.
So, statement 2 is incorrect.
