Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

The correct options are
A

None of these

B

Exert an attractive or repulsive force on other magnets

C

Have an effect on electrical conductors when the magnet and conductor are moving in relation to each other

Properties of magnet include:
1) Magnets attract magnetic objects like iron, cobalt and nickel.
2)The strength of a magnet is greater at its poles than in the middle.
3) Like poles of two magnets repel each other.
4)Opposite poles of two magnets attract each other.
5) If a bar magnet is suspended by a thread and if it is free to rotate, it orients in the North-South direction.
