Answer 1

Entire Conversion: 5 Marks

The iron strip can be converted into a magnet by 'touch and stroke' method. For this, a bar magnet is required. The bar magnet is moved along the length of the iron strip. Thus, the bar magnet is lifted from the other end and brought to the starting point again with the same pole of the bar magnet its moved back. On repeating the process for at least 40 to 50 times, the iron strip will become a bar magnet with two poles.
