7. Read the information about Regina’s experiment,look at the illustrations and Table 1 then answer the question. Regina explored the strength of a magnetic field by testing the number of paperclips the magnet could hold by following these steps: Step 1 - She opened a large paperclip to make a hook. Step 2 - She placed the hook on the magnet at the edge of the magnet’s north pole. Step 3 - She added one paperclip at a time until the hook fell off the magnet. Step 4 - She recorded the highest number of paperclips the hook could hold. Steps 5 through 10 - She repeated this test every 2 cm until she reached the magnet’s south pole and recorded the data each time (see Table 1).
