Question

earth’s magnetic field protects the planet from solar particles. which classroom experiment best models how magnetic fields create this protection? using two magnets to attract a paper clip; using iron filings to visualize magnetic field lines bending around a magnet; dropping a magnet from a height; measuring temperature changes near a magnet

Explanation:

Earth's magnetic field deflects (bends) incoming solar particles, so the best model demonstrates magnetic fields bending objects/particles. The iron filings show how magnetic field lines curve, representing the deflection effect that protects Earth. Other experiments focus on attraction, magnet weight, or temperature, which do not model the protective deflection.

Answer:

B. Using iron filings to visualize magnetic field lines bending around a magnet
