Question 17

A nickel token is placed in the magnetic field of a permanent magnet and becomes magnetic. The token is then removed from the magnetic field. A short time later, the token can no longer lift a small iron pin.

Why?

[1]
A

The token remained an induced magnet, but induced magnetism causes repulsion after the source field is removed.

B

The token stayed magnetic, but a magnet can only exert a force on another permanent magnet.

C

The token was an induced magnet and lost most or all of its magnetism outside the field.

D

The token became a permanent magnet, but permanent magnets lose their own field when moved away from another magnet.
