Simple phenomena of magnetism — practice question

A student is carrying out an experiment involving magnets and electric charge.
(a)[3]

Show the arrangement of magnetic field lines around the bar magnet. Draw two lines above the magnet and two lines below it. Make sure each line begins and ends at a pole. Add one arrow to indicate the direction of the magnetic field.

(b)[2]

The student rubs a plastic rod with a dry cloth. The plastic rod becomes positively charged. Explain why friction between the plastic and the cloth makes the plastic rod positively charged.

(c)[2]

State whether the objects in Fig. 9.2 and Fig. 9.3 experience a force of attraction, a force of repulsion, or no force between them.
