Question

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 pole of the magnet is brought near its head	Boat has a small magnet fixed along its length
Boat moves away from the magnet when north pole is brought near its head	Boat is made of magnetic material
Boat floats without changing its direction	Boat is made up non-magnetic material

Answer 1

Column I	Column II
Boat gets attracted towards the magnet	Boat is made of magnetic material
Boat is not affected by the magnet	Boat is made up non-magnetic material
Boat moves towards the magnet if north pole of the magnet is brought near its head	Boat is fitted with a magnet with south pole towards its head
Boat moves away from the magnet when north pole is brought near its head	Boat is fitted with a magnet with north pole towards its head
Boat floats without changing its direction	Boat has a small magnet fixed along its length

1. Magnetic materials get attracted towards a magnet.
2. Non-magnetic materials do not get attracted towards a magnet.
3. Unlike poles of magnets attract each other.
4. Like poles of magnets repel each other.
