Please refer to this picture to answer my question.
I have read in the Textbook that, Magnets are to be stored by keeping them in pairs seperated by a piece of wood, with unlike poles alongside each other and keepers should be placed across both ends. So, my doubt is, why can't seperate the magnets with a metal plate? And in the picture I have pasted, why can't the answer be D?
Dear student,
Option B is the right answer
As we know,
when we have to store two magnets, they must be separated by the wooden plank or wooden block. The poles must be kept safe by placing metal plates on it. And to store them safely we have to place opposite poles adjacent to each other. So option B is the correct arrangement.
the wooden bar does permit the magnetic lines to pass through it, that's why the strength of the magnet does not alter. Whereas the metal plate acts as a magnetic shield, that means that none of the magnetic lines coming from the pole of the magnet is able to pass through it.
Regards,
