O Levels Physics (5054)•5054/12/O/N/22

Explanation
Magnetic attraction principles
Steps:
- N pole attracts S pole of another magnet due to opposite poles.
- Iron is ferromagnetic and becomes temporarily magnetized, attracting to any magnet pole.
- Copper is non-magnetic and experiences no attraction.
- Only iron and S pole attract; copper does not.
Why A is correct:
- Law of magnetism: unlike poles attract, and ferromagnets like iron are drawn to magnetic fields regardless of pole.
Why the others are wrong:
- B and C incorrectly state iron is not attracted, ignoring its ferromagnetic properties.
- D incorrectly states S pole is not attracted and copper is, violating opposite pole attraction and non-magnetic behavior.
Final answer: A
