An iron rod is initially slightly magnetised. It is hit several times with a hammer.
Which row in the table describes the effect this hammering has on the magnetism of the iron rod in each orientation?
| Iron rod lies in a North-South direction | Iron rod lies in an East-West direction | |
|---|---|---|
| A | It becomes magnetised more strongly | It becomes magnetised more strongly |
| B | It becomes magnetised more strongly | It loses its magnetism |
| C | It loses its magnetism | It becomes magnetised more strongly |
| D | It loses its magnetism | It loses its magnetism |
