Chris rubs an iron nail in one direction with the south pole of a magnet. Which of the following is TRUE of the magnetized nail?

• it will only be attracted to the north pole of a magnet

• it has a strong north pole and a much weaker south pole

• its domains have become rearranged so that they are lined up in one direction

• the bar magnet has caused a random arrangement of the nail's domains

Magnetic field lines show that the force between a south pole and a north pole

• have no effect on the poles

• cause the poles to move away from each other

• cause the poles to move toward each other

• destroy the alignment of the domains in the magnet
