Question

The N-pole of a magnet is brought near an iron piece. Then

• A. The near end of the iron piece becomes a N-pole and its far end a S-pole.
• B. The near end of the iron piece becomes an S-pole and its far end an N-pole.
• C. the iron piece does not get magnetized at all.
• D. both the ends of the iron piece become similar poles.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

The near end of the iron piece becomes an S-pole and its far end an N-pole.

1. The N-pole of a magnet is brought near an iron piece, Then due to magnetic induction the near end of the iron piece becomes an S-pole and its far end an N-pole.
2. We can test this by placing it near a bar magnet.

Hence option (B) is the correct answer.
