Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Magnetism Reading Comprehension Passage and Questions | Printable ...
Let’s go step by step through each question based on the reading passage about magnetism.

---

Q.1: Magnet has a ______ pole.
Options:
a. North and South
b. East and North
c. East and West
d. South and West

→ From the text: “A magnet has a north and south pole.”
Correct answer: a. North and South

---

Q.2: How many kinds of magnet are there?
Options:
a. 4
b. 3
c. 1
d. 2

→ The text says: “There are two different kinds of permanent magnets...” and also talks about temporary magnets (like electromagnets). But more clearly, it says: “There are two different kinds of permanent magnets are called bar magnets and horse shoe magnets.” Wait — that’s talking about shapes of *permanent* magnets.

But then later: “Another method in creating a temporary magnet is by using electricity... This can be done by wrapping an iron nail with a coil of wire... become a temporary magnet or an electromagnet.”

Also: “There are many uses for permanent magnets and temporary magnets like an electromagnet.”

So overall, the main categories mentioned are:
- Permanent magnets
- Temporary magnets (including electromagnets)

That’s two kinds.

Wait — let me check again. In Q.4, it says “A ___ can be made by using electricity” → which is electromagnet → which is a type of temporary magnet.

And in the text: “Magnets may also be used to convert an unmagnetized piece of magnetic material... into a magnet... called temporary magnets”

So yes — two broad types: permanent and temporary.

Correct answer: d. 2

*(Note: Some might argue 3 if counting electromagnet separately, but the text groups electromagnet under temporary magnets. So 2 is correct per the text.)*

Q.4: A ___ can be made by using electricity.
Options:
a. Temporary magnet
b. Permanent magnet
c. Partial magnet

→ Text: “Another method in creating a temporary magnet is by using electricity... This can be done by wrapping an iron nail with a coil of wire... become a temporary magnet or an electromagnet.”

So electricity makes a temporary magnet (specifically, an electromagnet).

Correct answer: a. Temporary magnet

---

Q.6: True or False: Magnet is also created by using electricity.
Options:
a. True
b. False

→ As above: Yes, you can make a temporary magnet (electromagnet) using electricity.

Correct answer: a. True

---

Q.8: True or False: South pole attract south pole.
Options:
a. True
b. False

→ Text: “Like poles repel, and unlike poles attract.”
South and south are like poles → they repel, not attract.

So statement “South pole attract south pole” is false.

Correct answer: b. False

---

Q.10: True or False: In Magnet, like poles repel, and unlike poles attract.
Options:
a. True
b. False

→ Direct quote from text: “In short, like poles repel, and unlike poles attract.”

Correct answer: a. True
