A manufacturer needs a component that will continue to produce its own magnetic field after the magnetising field used during manufacture is removed.
Components K and L are each placed in a magnetic field and then removed. Ten minutes later, the same end of each component is tested using the known poles of a permanent magnet.
| Component | Response to the north pole | Response to the south pole |
|---|---|---|
| K | repelled | attracted |
| L | attracted | attracted |
Explain which component is suitable. Use both sets of test results in your answer.
