A.The density the filings will match the intensity of the magnetic field.
B.The direction of the flux in the portion of a magnetic field outlined by the filings will be from the north pole of the magnet to the south pole.
C.The filings will be clustered more densely where the field is weakest.
D.The filings will sit on the glass on curved paths between the north and south poles.

Answer 1

Answer: C.The filings will be clustered more densely where the field is weakest.

Lol this is pretty easy haha im on the same question... Because this is obviously false, where the magnetic field is weakest it wont have clusters of fillings. The fillings would be more scattered around. No duh

Answer 2

The answer would be D. Because the iron fillings are attracted to the magnet underneath the glass.
