Question
Though Earth is acting as a huge bar magnet it is not attracting other ferromagnetic materials. Why? Give reasons.
Solution
Earth is not attracting other ferromagnetic materials because the magnetic character of ferromagnetic materials is affected by the external temperature. When they are heated, they become paramagnetic at curie temperature.
