Solution

The correct option is B False

Magnetic substances:

  • Magnetic substances are the substances that are attracted by a magnet.
  • A magnet attracts ferromagnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel.
  • Like magnetic poles repel each other and unlike magnetic poles attract each other.
  • A freely suspended magnet always points in a north-south direction.
  • For example, iron, cobalt, etc.

Non-magnetic substances:

  • Non-magnetic substances are substances that do not attract by a magnet.
  • They have no net magnetic moment.
  • When rubber is taken close to a magnet, we see that it is not attracted by the magnet.
  • For example, wood, plastic, rubber, etc.

Therefore, the statement rubber is a magnetic material is false.
