Passage:
> Magnets produce an invisible area of magnetic force. This area is called a magnetic field. Magnetic objects placed within this magnetic field will be pulled towards the magnet. Objects made from metals such as iron, nickel and cobalt are magnetic. Not all metals, however, are magnetic. Objects made from metals such as aluminium, silver or gold would not be attracted to the magnet. Materials such as plastic, wood and glass are not magnetic.
✔ Explanation:
- "Magnetic field" is the correct term for the invisible area around a magnet.
- Iron, nickel, and cobalt are magnetic materials.
- Not all metals are magnetic — some like aluminum and silver are not.
- Gold is a metal that is not magnetic.
---
> Magnets have a magnetic north pole and a magnetic south pole. When the same pole from two magnets are placed near one another, they will repel. When opposite poles are placed near one another, they will attract. Magnetism is a non-contact force.
✔ Explanation:
- All magnets have north and south poles.
- Like poles (N-N or S-S) repel each other.
- Opposite poles (N-S or S-N) attract.
- Magnetism acts at a distance without touching — it's a non-contact force.
---
> A compass uses the Earth's magnetic field to work. The north pole of the magnet in a compass, points towards the Earth's magnetic north pole. Magnets have many other uses, including televisions, computers, fridges and telephones.
✔ Explanation:
- A compass needle aligns with Earth’s magnetic field; its north pole points toward the Earth's magnetic north.
- Modern devices like computers use magnets in hard drives, speakers, etc.
