Which statement about a magnet is correct?
-
A magnet attracts a gold rod
-
Magnet does not attract a plastic rod
-
A magnet never repels another magnet
-
Magnet sometimes repels an unmagnetised nickel rod.
Correct Answer
A. Magnet does not attract a plastic rodExplanation
A magnet does not attract a plastic rod because plastic is not a material that can be magnetized. Magnets are attracted to materials that have magnetic properties, such as iron or nickel. Plastic is not one of those materials, so a magnet will not be able to attract a plastic rod.Rate this question:

Which group contains only non-ferrous metals?
-
Aluminum, brass and iron
-
Brass, copper and lead
-
Copper, Iron and steel
-
Copper, lead and steel
Correct Answer
A. Brass, copper and leadExplanation
The group that contains only non-ferrous metals is brass, copper, and lead. Non-ferrous metals are those that do not contain iron. Aluminum and iron are both ferrous metals, so the first option is incorrect. Copper and iron are both present in the third option, so it is also incorrect. The fourth option includes steel, which is an alloy made primarily of iron, so it is also incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is the second option, which includes only brass, copper, and lead, all of which are non-ferrous metals.Rate this question:

Which metal is suitable to make a permanent magnet?
-
Aluminum
-
Brass
-
Iron
-
Steel
Correct Answer
A. SteelExplanation
Steel is suitable to make a permanent magnet because it is a ferromagnetic material. Ferromagnetic materials have strong magnetic properties and can retain their magnetism even after the external magnetic field is removed. Steel is a commonly used material for making permanent magnets due to its high magnetic permeability and ability to retain a strong magnetic field.Rate this question:

Permanent magnets are made of ________ materials.
Correct Answer
Hard magneticExplanation
Permanent magnets are made of hard magnetic materials because these materials have a high coercivity, meaning they are able to maintain their magnetization even in the presence of external magnetic fields. This allows them to retain their magnetic properties over a long period of time, hence the term "permanent" magnets. Hard magnetic materials typically have a high magnetic saturation, which means they can generate strong magnetic fields. Examples of hard magnetic materials include alloys such as neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) and samarium-cobalt (SmCo).Rate this question:
