An insulated copper wire is wrapped around an iron nail and connected to a power
source (battery). When the circuit is closed, the nail can attract and pick up paper clips,
but when the circuit is open, the nail does not attract the paper clips. Which of the
following explanations best describes this phenomenon?
A When the circuit is open, it creates a current, and a magnetic field is induced.
B When the circuit is closed, there is neither a current nor a magnetic field.
C When the circuit is closed, it creates a current, and a magnetic field is induced.
D When the circuit is open, there is a current but no magnetic field.
