The evidence of iron filings forming a pattern around the bar magnet best supports the argument that "Magnetic fields exist between objects that are not directly touching each other." This is because the iron filings align along the magnetic field lines created by the magnet, demonstrating the presence of the magnetic field even though the filings are not in direct contact with the magnet itself.
Zack places iron fillings on a piece of paper near a bar magnet. The iron fillings 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
A magnet can attract all objects through different materials
Big magnets can attract more objects
Only materials that are made of metal have a magnetic force
