Question 32

Two bars of the same size, one made of soft iron and the other made of steel, are placed inside a solenoid. A large direct current is passed through the solenoid to magnetize both bars. The current is then switched off and the bars are removed. Each bar is then brought near a pile of small iron paper clips.

What is observed?

A

Both bars attract the paper clips.

B

Neither bar attracts the paper clips.

C

Only the steel bar attracts the paper clips.

D

Only the soft iron bar attracts the paper clips.
