Magnets are objects that produce an area of magnetic force called a magnetic field. Magnetic fields by themselves are invisible to the human eye. Magnets attract, or pull, objects made of materials that are very attracted to magnets. These materials include iron and nickel. A magnet also reacts to another magnet when they are close enough to each other.
Based on these sentences, what can you conclude about the attraction of iron to a magnet?
When the iron is farther from the magnet, the attraction is stronger.
When the iron is closer to the magnet, the attraction is stronger.
When the iron is closer to the magnet, the attraction is weaker.
When the iron is close to the magnet, there is no attraction.
