The paper clip that has the most chance of moving toward the magnet is Clip W, as it is the closest to the magnet at 1 cm. The closer an object is to a magnet, the stronger the magnetic force acting on it, which increases the likelihood of the object moving toward the magnet.
A student places paper clips, W, X, Y, and Z at different distances away from a magnet. Use the student’s picture to answer the question that follows.
Clip W: 1
Clip X: 4
Clip: Y: 5
Clip Z: 7
The bigger the number, the more centimeters, the farther they are from the magnet.
Which paper clip has the MOST chance of moving toward the magnet?
