Question 3

It was observed that a pencil sharpener gets attracted by both the poles of a magnet although its body is made of plastic. Name a material that might have been used to make some part of it.


Answer 3

The blade of the pencil sharpener made by iron which is a magnetic substance and magnetic substance is attracted by a magnet. Hence the pencil sharpener is attracted by both sides of the magnet

Question 5

Write any two properties of a magnet.


Answer 5

 Attractive and Repulsive property: Opposite poles of two magnets attract each other while like poles of two magnets repel each other.

Directive Property: A freely suspended magnet always stops in the North-South direction.



Question 6

Where are poles of a bar magnet located?


Answer 6

The poles of the bar magnet are located at its two endpoints. (actually the poles are located near to the ends of the magnet) 



Question 7

A bar magnet has no markings to indicate its poles. How would you find out near which end is its north pole located?


Answer 7

Tie the bar magnet with a string and freely suspend it. The bar magnet will stop in the North-South direction. The end of the bar magnet which stops in the North direction is the north pole of the magnet and which stops in the south direction is the south pole of the magnet.

Question 8

You are given an iron strip. How will you make it into a magnet?


Answer 8

  • We  take a rectangular piece of soft iron strip. 

  •  Now we take a strong bar magnet and keep in contact with its north pole with one edge (say A) of the iron bar.

  •  Without lifting the bar magnet, move it along the length (from A to B) of the iron bar till we reach the other end.

  • Now we lift the magnet and bring the pole (the north pole) to the same point (that is A) of the iron bar from which we began

  • Then again we rubbed the iron bar with the bar magnet from A to B. 

  • We repeat this process about 30-40 times.

  • After that the iron bar become a magnet

Question 9

How is a compass used to find directions?


Answer 9

A compass is usually a small box with a glass cover on it. Inside the box, there is a magnetic needle which can rotate freely around a pivot. The compass also has a dial with directions marked on it. 

When we wanted to know the direction of a place, we placed the magnet on a plane surface. Then the needle of the magnet rotates and stops in the north-south direction.  To identify the north-pole of the magnetic needle, it is usually painted in a different colour.
