  1. 1. (c) iron — Iron is attracted by a magnet.
  2. 2. (d) poles — Magnetic force is strongest at the poles.
  3. 3. (a) repel — Like poles repel.
  4. 4. (b) north–south — It aligns north–south with Earth's magnetism.
  5. 5. Iron and nickel (also cobalt).
  6. 6. Like poles repel; unlike poles attract.
  7. 7. Materials that are attracted by a magnet are called magnetic materials, and the common ones are iron, nickel and cobalt. Materials not attracted by a magnet — such as wood, plastic, paper and rubber — are non-magnetic. Every magnet, whatever its shape, has two ends where its attracting power is strongest, called the north pole and the south pole. If you scatter iron filings near a magnet, they gather most thickly at these poles, and even if the magnet is broken into pieces, each piece still has both a north and a south pole.
