Question

Steel is a non-magnetic substance.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Magnetic materials:

1. Steel, iron nails and cobalt are magnetic materials
2. Because these materials show attraction when a magnet is brought near them.

Non-magnetic materials:

1. Rubber, wood and plastic are non-magnetic materials.
2. Because they do not show attraction when a magnet is brought near them.

Hence, the statement, 'Steel is a non-magnetic substance' is false.
