Question
paperclips are not magnetically attracted to each other. however, a paperclip will be attracted to a refrigerator magnet. given this information, what can you conclude? select two answers. the paperclip is a permanent magnet the paperclip is likely made of steel the paperclip produces its own magnetic field the refrigerator magnet is a permanent magnet the refrigerator magnet is a weak, temporary magnet
Brief Explanations
- Paperclips are not permanent magnets (they don't attract each other) but are made of ferromagnetic material like steel, which is attracted to permanent magnets.
- Refrigerator magnets are permanent magnets, as they produce a persistent magnetic field that can induce magnetism in ferromagnetic materials like the paperclip to create attraction. Temporary magnets lose their magnetism quickly, which does not describe refrigerator magnets.
