Question

explain the following:
a)when two pins are hung ny their ends from the same pole of a magnet,their pointed ends fly apart.
b)several soft iron pins can be hung one below the other from the pole of the magnet, but they soon fall off when the magnet is removed.
c) the north end of a magnetic needle is attracted towards a piece of small iron placed a little distance away from it.

Solution

(a) When two pins are hung their ends from the same pole of a magnet, both pins get magnetised due to presence of magnet and as they are at same pole so their magnetisation would also be same in nature .This is the reason that their pointed ends fly apart.

(b) The magnetisation of material is being significant if the material is present in external magnetic field . As soon as the magnet is removed then magnetisation of pins become zero, that's why the falls off.
(c) As iron is ferromagnetic material and it has magnetic behaviour .So its behave like a permanent magnet.Thus small piece of iron attracts the magnetic middle.

Q. poles, attracts, east-west, north-south like, opposite, repel, magnetic
Fill in the blanks in the following passage(s) from the words given above.

A magnet ........1......... small pieces of iron, nickel, cobalt. etc. The magnetic force of attraction is maximum in small regions near the ends of the magnet. These are called the ........2........of the magnet.
A freely suspended magnet always points in ......3...... direction. The end pointing towards north is called north seeking pole or north pole. The other end which points towards south is called south seeking pole or south pole. All magnets attract ...........4.......... poles of other magnets and also a few substances like iron, nickel and cobalt. Thus if an unknown substance is attracted by a magnet, we cannot be sure whether it is a magnet. But like poles of magnet ....,....5............ each other. Hence if there is repulsion between an unknown substance and a magnet, we can be sure that the unknown substance is a magnet. The substances which are attracted by magnets are called ......6...... substances.

Q. Which of the following cannot happen, irrespective of whether the given iron bar B is a bar magnet or not?
(a) Both ends of B are attracted to the north pole of a magnet.
(b) Both ends of B are attracted to the south pole of a magnet.
(c) One end of B is attracted and the other end is repelled by the north pole of a magnet.
(d) Both ends of B are repelled by the south pole of a magnet.

Q. One end of an iron bar is attracted and the other end is repelled by the north pole of a bar magnet. Can you definitely say that the iron bar is a magnet? If both ends are attracted by the north pole, what would be your conclusion?
