Penelope predicted a magnet would not attract copper wire if she brought a magnet close to it and did not touch it. Is Penelope's prediction correct and why?

• No, her prediction is incorrect. The magnet will attract the copper wire because it has magnetic material.

• No, her prediction is incorrect. The magnet will repel the copper wire because it has no magnetic material.

• Yes, her prediction is correct. The magnet will not attract the copper wire because it has no magnetic material.

• Yes, her prediction is correct. The magnet will not attract the copper wire because it is a repellent.

Clarence conducted an experiment on magnetic materials. He used a variety of materials. Which of the following set of observations were most likely made by Clarence during his experiment?

• When a magnet was placed near a paper clip, a staple, and a battery, the magnetic force from the magnet moved the objects toward the magnet.

• When a magnet was placed near copper wire, a gold ring, and an aluminum can, the magnetic force from the magnet moved the objects toward the magnet.

• When a nail, a gold ring, and a battery were placed next to the magnet, the magnetic force of the magnet attracted the objects.

• When copper wire, a spoon, and a metal bowl were placed near the magnet, the magnetic force of the magnet repelled the objects.
