Question

Give scientific reason:

Not attraction but repulsion is a sure test of magnetism.

Short Note

Solution

If the magnetic material is brought near to the magnet then it gets attracted although it's not magnetized the magnetic material will be repelled only in case it is magnetised. So repulsion is the sure test of magnetism.
