ICSE Class 6 Physics Books – Chapters, Practice & PDFs

ICSE Class 6 Physics books cover several chapters, and this page lists one of them: Magnetism. The Magnetism chapter PDF is on this page, ready to open. The directory below lists exactly one chapter; chapters 1 to 6 are not on this page yet.

This page also gives what the PDF alone does not. It tells you what the Magnetism chapter contains, counted from the book: its main sections, its practice questions, and its page count. You can see how the chapter is built before you start reading.

ICSE Class 6 Physics Books: what is inside each chapter

The directory above counts three things. A section is one of the book’s own main headings; sub-headings are not counted. A practice question is a numbered item under an exercise heading. Pages are the chapter’s pages in the PDF.

Chapter 7: Magnetism (Physics)

Magnetism opens with the rule that like poles repel and unlike poles attract. It then makes the key point that repulsion is the only true test for a magnet, and explains that magnetic poles always occur in pairs. The chapter moves on to types of magnets, demagnetising a magnet, properties of a bar magnet and storing of magnets, with a Knowledge Bank and uses of magnets after those.

• Like poles repel, unlike poles attract
• Repulsion is the only true test for a magnet
• Magnetic poles always occur in pairs
• Types of Magnets
• Demagnetising a Magnet
• Properties of a Bar Magnet

and 3 more

The exercise with the most questions is B. Long Answer Questions :, which sets 17 questions.

How to revise Class 6 Physics chapter by chapter

1. Open the Magnetism PDF from the directory above.
2. Read the chapter’s sections in the order they appear.
3. Do the 8 Intext Questions as you read, so each idea is checked before you move on.
4. Then work through the 4 Short Answer Questions and the 17 Long Answer Questions.

Magnetism is the only chapter on this page, so check your school’s Physics book for the chapters not listed here. The order above follows the book’s own section sequence. For other Class 6 subjects, return to the Class 6 books page.

Common mistakes in the Magnetism chapter

• Attraction is not a reliable test for a magnet. The chapter’s rule is that repulsion is the only true test for a magnet.
• Magnetic poles always occur in pairs. A single pole cannot be isolated on its own.
• Practise in the book’s order. Do the 8 Intext Questions while you read, then the 4 Short Answer Questions and the 17 Long Answer Questions.

Sources and data verification

• Which book: the counts describe Chapter 7, Magnetism, in the Physics book used for this directory.
• How the counts were checked: every section, exercise and page count was read from the book and can be checked against the PDF in the directory above.
• What this page covers: 1 chapter. Physics: chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are not on this page yet.
• Who sets the syllabus: CISCE sets the syllabus and examinations, so open the CISCE website to check the official requirements. Schools choose their own textbooks, and CISCE prescribes none of them.
