Question 15

A quality-control worker checks a metal insert intended for a magnetic jewellery clasp. The worker holds a reference permanent magnet close to the insert and tests whether the insert attracts a steel paper clip. The worker then moves the reference magnet away and repeats the paper clip test.

Which result would show that the insert is an induced magnet and not a permanent magnet?

[1]
A

The insert is repelled by the reference magnet when the magnet is held close.

B

The insert still attracts the paper clip once the reference magnet is moved away.

C

The insert no longer attracts the paper clip once the reference magnet is moved away.

D

The insert is attracted towards the reference magnet when the magnet is held close.
