🔍 Key Concepts

• Magnetism and metal types – which metals are attracted to magnets and which are not • Purpose of lube oil strainers/filters in an engine system • Difference between ferrous and nonferrous metals

💭 Think About

• Think about which category of metals (ferrous vs nonferrous) a magnet can actually attract in normal engine conditions • Consider why we place magnets in lube oil strainers in the first place: what type of wear particles are we most worried about? • Look at each choice and ask: does this overstate what a magnet can do, or describe something a magnet simply cannot do?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what ferrous means (hint: iron content) and how that relates to magnetism • Check whether all metallic particles can realistically be removed by a magnet, or only a certain type • Confirm that the magnet’s function is related to particle removal, not a mechanical task like holding covers or bolts in place
