F

A magnet is slowly moved further away from a steel paperclip. What happens to the force on the paperclip, and why?

[1]
A

It decreases, because the magnetic field is weaker further away

B

It increases, because the magnetic field spreads out further away

C

It stays the same, because the strength of the magnet is unchanged

D

It decreases, because the paperclip becomes a permanent magnet
