Describe an experiment using iron filings and a sheet of card to show the pattern of the magnetic field lines around a bar magnet.

[3]
b.

A student has a permanent bar magnet and a metal bar with ends labelled PPP and QQQ. The student moves end PPP of the metal bar close to both poles of the bar magnet in turn.

  • When end PPP is placed close to the North (N) pole of the bar magnet, there is a force of attraction.
  • When end PPP is placed close to the South (S) pole of the bar magnet, there is a force of repulsion.

State and explain what these results reveal about the metal bar PQPQPQ and its ends.
