A plotting compass is moved slowly towar...

A plotting compass is moved slowly towards the metal bar X along the path shown by dotted arrow. The final position P of the compass needle is shown.

What can you conclude about bar X based on the diagram above?

A

Bar X is a magnetic material.

B

Bar X is a magnet.

C

Bar X is a non-magnetic material

D

Bar X is a either a magnet or a magnetic material.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
As the needle is attracted towards the bar, so it can be a magnet or a magnetic material. But there is no evidence of repulsion to confirm that it is a magnet.
