A plotting compass is moved slowly towards the metal bar P along the path shown in the figure.

What can you conclude about the metal bar P from the given figure?

A

Bar P is a magnetic material.

B

Bar P is a magnet.

C

Bar P is a non-magnetic material.

D

Bar P is either a magnet or a magnetic material.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Bar P is a magnet with right end as the S-pole. As compass approaches P its north pole is attracted to the S-pole of magnet Pas shown in the question figure. If bar P is a magnetic material the S-pole of the compass will induce a N-pole in the material then the system is as shown in the figure.
