Question

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between metals and magnets?

1.All metals are attracted to magnets because they are able to create their own magnetic field.

2.All metals are attracted by magnets; this is why we call metals ferromagnetic.

3.Only some metals are attracted to magnets because they do not have a magnetic field.

4.Only some metals are attracted by magnets; these metals are called ferromagnetic.

Answer 1

it would be 4) because not all metals are magnetic.

Answer 2

Answer;

4. Only some metals are attracted by magnets; these metals are called ferromagnetic.

Explanation;

• Magnets are those materials that have the ability of producing magnetic field. Magnets attracts materials called magnetic materials and have no effect on non magnetic materials such as wood.

• Magnetic materials are materials that are attracted by a magnet, these includes some metal such as iron and steel. However some metals are non-magnetic materials, these include, gold, silver, and copper among others,

• Therefore, it would be appropriate to say that only some metals are attracted by magnets; these metals are called ferromagnetic.
