Question 5

A designer tests an insert for a levitating display. The insert is prevented from turning. Its lower face is held above the south pole of a fixed permanent magnet. The insert moves upwards, away from the fixed magnet.

What does this movement show about the insert?

[1]
A

It is an induced magnet, because the fixed magnet's field has made its lower face a south pole

B

It is an induced magnet, because it is only pushed away while it is near the fixed magnet

C

It is a permanent magnet, because its lower face is a south pole and like poles repel

D

It is a permanent magnet, because its lower face is a north pole and unlike poles repel
