permanent & induced magnets

Cards (14)

  • What is the difference between permanent and induced magnets?
    A permanent magnet produces its own magnetic field, while an induced magnet becomes a magnet in a magnetic field
  • What are the two ends of a bar magnet called?
    North Pole and South Pole
  • Where are the magnetic forces strongest on a magnet?

    At the poles of the magnet
  • What happens when two like poles of magnets are brought close together?

    They repel each other
  • What occurs when unlike poles of magnets are brought close together?

    They attract each other
  • What type of forces are the attraction and repulsion between two magnetic poles?
    Non-contact forces
  • What does a permanent magnet produce?

    Its own magnetic field
  • What happens when a permanent magnet is brought close to another permanent magnet?

    They can attract or repel each other depending on their orientation
  • What is an induced magnet?

    An object that becomes a magnet when placed in a magnetic field
  • What happens to objects placed near a permanent magnet?

    They can become induced magnets
  • What is the key fact about induced magnetism?

    It always causes a force of attraction
  • What happens to induced magnets when the permanent magnet is removed?

    They lose most or all of their magnetism quickly
  • What are the two types of magnets discussed in the video?
    • Permanent magnets
    • Induced magnets
  • What are the characteristics of permanent and induced magnets?

    Permanent magnets:
    • Produce their own magnetic field
    • Example: bar magnet

    Induced magnets:
    • Become magnets in a magnetic field
    • Lose magnetism when the field is removed
