Magnetic and Non-magnetic Materials
 

Magnetic and Non-magnetic Materials problem 18


A bar magnet is slowly moved towards an unmagnetised metal object X.




When it is a few centimetres away, the object begins to slide towards the magnet. Why does this happen?


  • X is a non-magnetic material and magnetism is induced in it.


  • X is a non-magnetic material and magnetism is not induced in it.


  • X is a magnetic material and magnetism is induced in it.


  • X is a magnetic material and magnetism is not induced in it.
