Which statement describes a property of a magnet? A. It attracts ferrous materials. B. It could have only one pole (north or south). C. It points in a random direction when suspended. D. It repels non-ferrous materials.

It attracts ferrous materials

Explanation:

A magnet attracts ferrous materials A ferrous materials are metallic substances or conductors that can conduct heat and electricity. Example of this ferrous materials includes iron, metal etc. Since magnets only can attracts metallic substance to itself, then we can also conclude that they attract ferrous materials since ferrous materials. possesses properties of a metal.

Magnets possesses both north and south poles.

The same of the bar magnets are known to repel each other while unlike poles attract each other.

We shall consider two properties:
1. Temperature difference
2. Thermal conductivity of the material

Use a cylindrical rod of a given material (say steel) which is insulated around its circumference.

One end of the rod is dipped in a large reservoir of water at 100 deg.C and the other end is dipped in water (with known volume) at 40 deg. C. The cold water if stored in a cylinder which is insulated on all sides. A thermometer reads the temperature of the cold water as a function of time.

This experiment will show that
(a) heat flows from a region of high temperature to a region of lower temperature.
(b) The thermal energy of a body increases when heat is added to it, and its temperature will rise.
(c) The thermal conductivity of water determines how quickly its temperature will rise. If mercury replaces water in the cold cylinder, its temperature will rise at a different rate because its thermal conductivity is different.
