A toy car (made of soft iron) and two bar magnets are arranged as shown in the figure. What would happen if magnet 'A' moved towards the car as shown in the figure?

Strong bar magnets are fixed to the roofs of two toy cars C1 and C2. The north pole of the magnet on C1 points to the front of the car and the north pole of the magnet on C2 points to the back of the car. The cars are placed facing each other. What will you observe?

Arun suspended a bar magnet on a string as shown in the diagram below. He brought bar-shaped objects and towards the bar magnet. He placed the ends ( and ) of each object, near the north pole of the bar magnet and recorded his observations in the table below.
Object | End brought near to pole | End brought near to pole |
pole repelled | pole attracted | |
pole attracted | pole repelled | |
pole remains stationary | pole remains stationary |
Which of the object(s) is/are the magnet?

When Asha suspended four bars of different materials from a pole and brought the North pole of a bar magnet near part and of each bar one by one as shown in the figure, the observations she recorded are as follows:
