Question 10

A magnet was brought from different directions towards a toy boat that has been floating in water in a tub. Affect observed in each case is stated in Column I. Possible reasons for the observed affects are mentioned in Column II. Match the statements given in Column I with those in Column II.

Column I                                                                        Column II

Boat gets attracted towards the magnet                          Boat is fitted with a magnet with north pole towards its head

Boat is not affected by the magnet                                   Boat is fitted with a magnet with south pole towards its head

Boat moves towards the magnet if north                          Boat has a small magnet fixed along its length
pole of the magnet is brought near its
head

Boat moves away from the magnet                                  Boat is made of magnetic material                                                                                                             when north pole is brought near its head 

Boat floats without changing its direction                         Boat is made up non-magnetic material

Answer

                    Column I                                                                        Column II

Boat gets attracted towards the magnet                                            Boat is made up non-magnetic material

Boat is not affected by the magnet                                                    Boat is made up non-magnetic material

Boat moves towards the magnet if north                                           Boat is fitted with a magnet with south pole towards its head.                                              pole of the magnet is brought near its head



Boat moves away from the magnet                                                    Boat is fitted with a magnet with north pole towards its head                                            when north pole is brought near its head

Boat floats without changing its direction                                           Boat has a small magnet fixed along its length

The material which are attracted by magnet are called magnetic materials and which are not attracted by magnet called non- magnetic materials. Opposite poles of a magnet attracts each other like N- S, S- N etc.  Same poles of a magnet repel each other like N- N, S-S etc.
