Explain why iron filings which are sprinkled on a sheet of cardboard placed over a bar magnet take up a definite pattern when cardboard is slightly tapped.

उत्तर
The iron filings take up a definite pattern (curved lines). This happens because each piece of iron filing becomes a magnet to the magnetic induction of the magnet. It thus experiences a force in the direction of magnetic field of the bar magnet at that point and aligns itself along curved lines.
