When an iron piece is placed in a magnetic field_____________?
Correct answer: B. the magnetic lines of force will bend away from their usual paths in order to pass through the piece
- A. the magnetic lines of force will bend away from their usual paths in order to go away from the piece
- B. the magnetic lines of force will bend away from their usual paths in order to pass through the piece
- C. the magnetic field will not be affected
- D. the iron piece will break
Explanation
Iron has high permeability, offering an easier path for magnetic flux than the surrounding air. Therefore, magnetic lines bend from their original paths to pass through the iron piece.
