Question

If you place a paper clip very close to a magnet, the paper clip

A. is attracted to the magnet.
B. moves toward the magnet.
C. becomes a temporary magnet.
D. all of the above

Answer 1

The answer is “D. all of the above”!

Metal from the paper clip is attracted to the magnet, so it will naturally move toward and stick to the magnet. This will cause the paper clip to temporarily become a magnet for other metals. I hope this helped!
