The evidence provided best supports the argument that magnetic fields exist between objects that are not directly touching each other. The behavior of the iron filings forming a pattern around the bar magnet illustrates that there is a magnetic field emanating from the magnet, affecting the filings even though they are not in direct contact with the magnet itself.
Zack places iron filings on a piece of paper near a bar magnet. The iron filings quickly move and form a pattern around the magnet. Which argument does this evidence BEST support?
Magnetic fields exist between objects that are not directly touching each other.
