OBJECTIVE: To understand the properties of magnets.
SKILL: APPLICATION AND CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS

(a) A student has four similar metal bars. Two of the bars are permanent magnets, one is a
3 bar of unmagnetized iron and the other is a bar of tin.

In four different experiments, the bars are placed end-to-end in pairs, as shown in Fig. 3.1.

Fig. 3.1

State what happens to each pair of metal bars. Choose from the words

attract, repel , no effect.

You may use each word once, more than once or not at all.

(b) The magnetic properties of soft iron and steel are different. Describe the differences.

4 (a) Fig. 4.1 shows a bar magnet.

On Fig. 4.1, draw TWO lines to show the shape of the magnetic field around the bar magnet.
Include at least one arrow in each line to show the direction of the field.

(b) Which of these metals could be used to make a permanent magnet? Tick one box.
