Q-14 Case study:
Ananya and Samaira were playing at their nani’s house. Their Nani gave a magnet

plastic ruler near the magnet, nothing happened.
(a) Why was the steel paperclip attracted to the magnet while the plastic ruler didn’t
attract?
(b) How can you classify materials based on this experiment?
