State whether the following statements are true or false:
$(i)$. A cylindrical magnet has only one pole.
$(ii)$. Artificial magnets were discovered in Greece.
$(iii)$. Similar poles of a magnet repel each other.
$(iv)$. Maximum iron filings stick in the middle of a bar magnet when it is brought near them.
$(v)$. Bar magnets always point towards North-South direction.
$(vi)$. A compass can be used to find East-West direction at any place.
$(vii)$. Rubber is a magnetic material.
$(i)$. A cylindrical magnet has only one pole.
[False]
Because every magnet has two poles named as north pole and the south pole.
$(ii)$. Artificial magnets were discovered in Greece.
[False]
The only natural magnet was discovered in Greece. Sturgeon, an English physicist invented the electromagnet in 1824. This electromagnet was made of 18 turns of bare copper wire.
$(iii)$. Similar poles of a magnet repel each other. [True]
$(iv)$. Maximum iron filings stick in the middle of a bar magnet when it is brought near them.
[False]
A magnet bar contains maximum magnetic strength near its ends, so iron filing must have been stuck near its ends.
$(v)$. Bar magnets always point towards North-South direction.
[True]
When a bar magnet is suspended freely, it always points towards North-South direction.
$(vi)$. A compass can be used to find East-West direction at any place.
[True]
A compass determines the North-South direction. Once North-South direction is found, then it is very easy to find East-West direction at any place.
$(vii)$. Rubber is a magnetic material.
[False]
As rubber does not get attracted by a magnet, so it is a non-magnetic material.
