Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which of the following materials is a magnetic material?

  1. Copper
  2. Aluminium
  3. Iron
  4. Gold
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: CIron
Award 1 mark for identifying iron as a magnetic material. A is incorrect — copper is a non-magnetic metal. B is incorrect — aluminium is a non-magnetic metal. D is incorrect — gold is a non-magnetic metal. Only iron, cobalt, nickel and steel are magnetic materials.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

A student brings two bar magnets close together. She observes that they repel each other. Which poles are facing each other?

  1. North pole and south pole
  2. Two north poles or two south poles
  3. The poles are not aligned
  4. One magnet has lost its magnetism
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: BTwo north poles or two south poles
Award 1 mark for recognising that like poles repel. A is incorrect — unlike poles (north and south) attract each other. C is incorrect — poles must be aligned for repulsion to occur. D is incorrect — the question states repulsion is observed, indicating both magnets are magnetised.

CIE IGCSE Physics: Magnetism — properties of magnets and magnetic materials FAQ

How many CIE IGCSE Physics questions on Magnetism — properties of magnets and magnetic materials are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 20 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Magnetism — properties of magnets and magnetic materials for CIE IGCSE Physics, with new questions added every week. Each question gives you instant feedback and a full examiner-style mark scheme that tells you exactly what would earn marks on a real CIE paper. The questions span the full difficulty range — from straightforward recall (level 1) right up to multi-step reasoning and evaluation (level 3) — so the bank works for first-pass revision and final exam-week stress testing alike.
Is Kramizo free for CIE IGCSE students preparing for Physics?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Magnetism — properties of magnets and magnetic materials practice with other Physics topics or even switch to a totally different CIE subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Magnetism — properties of magnets and magnetic materials questions aligned to the official CIE IGCSE Physics syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CIE IGCSE Physics specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CIE paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CIE.
How is Magnetism — properties of magnets and magnetic materials typically tested on CIE IGCSE Physics papers?
Magnetism — properties of magnets and magnetic materials appears across multiple question types on real CIE IGCSE Physics papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
