Question 3

A permanent magnet is built into a workshop tool rack. A steel chisel close to the rack becomes an induced magnet. A second permanent magnet can also be brought close to the magnet in the rack.

Which statement correctly compares the forces exerted by the magnet in the rack?

[1]
A

The rack magnet repels the second permanent magnet when like poles face, but may attract or repel the induced chisel.

B

The rack magnet may attract or repel the second permanent magnet, but it attracts the induced chisel.

C

The rack magnet produces a field only while the steel chisel is close, and the chisel is attracted to it.

D

The rack magnet attracts the second permanent magnet when like poles face, and it attracts the induced chisel.
