MAGNETISM

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The force of magnetism can go through many materials.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Yes, magnetism passes through all material with the exception of superconductors. This allows for magnetic levitation using superconductors. Some substances other than superconductors have varying permeability to magnetism and can bend magnetic fields, but none can block them.

Detailed explanation-2: -Magnetic fields will pass through plastic, wood, aluminium and even lead as if it was not there. There is no material that will block magnetism. Ferrous materials such as iron, steel or nickel can conduct magnetic fields and redirect magnetism.

Detailed explanation-3: -Every substance is made up of tiny units called atoms. Each atom has electrons, particles that carry electric charges. Spinning like tops, the electrons circle the nucleus, or core, of an atom. Their movement generates an electric current and causes each electron to act like a microscopic magnet.
