Prateek wants to make a magnet. Which of the following materials is useful for the purpose?

• A. Rubber
• B. Leather
• C. Iron
• D. Silver

Answer 1

The correct option is C Iron

• Magnets can only be made out of magnetic materials. Materials attracted to a magnet are called magnetic materials. Materials like steel, nickel, cobalt, iron, etc. are magnetic in nature. Hence, they can be magnetised easily.
• On the other hand, silver, rubber, plastic, gold, etc. are non-magnetic substances.

Therefore, a magnet can be made from iron.
