What happens when like poles of magnets are brought together?
They
repel
each other
View source
What occurs when opposite poles of magnets are brought together?
They
attract
each other
View source
What type of forces are attraction and repulsion between magnetic poles?
Non-contact forces
View source
What does a permanent magnet produce?
Its own
magnetic field
View source
How do two permanent magnets interact when brought close together?
They can
attract
or
repel
each other
View source
What is an induced magnet?
An object that becomes a magnet in a
field
View source
What happens to an induced magnet when the permanent magnet is removed?
It loses most or all of its
magnetism
View source
What type of force does induced magnetism always cause?
A force of
attraction
View source
What are the four types of magnetic materials?
Iron
Steel
(an alloy of iron)
Cobalt
Nickel
View source
What is a magnetic field?
A region where a
force
acts on magnets
View source
What happens when magnetic materials are placed in a magnetic field?
They experience a force of
attraction
View source
How does the strength of a magnetic field change with distance from the magnet?
It
decreases
as
distance
increases
View source
Where is the magnetic field strongest on a magnet?
At the
poles
of the magnet
View source
What does a magnetic compass contain?
A small
bar magnet
View source
How do we plot a magnetic field using a compass?
By drawing crosses at compass
north poles
View source
In which direction do magnetic field lines point?
From
north
to
south
View source
What indicates the strongest part of a magnetic field?
Where the lines are
closest
together
View source
What does a compass needle point to when away from magnets?
North-South direction
View source
Why does a compass needle point north?
Because of
Earth's
magnetic field
View source
What happens when we close the switch in a circuit?
An
electric current
flows around the circuit
View source
What is conventional current?
Flow from
positive
to
negative
View source
What is produced around a wire when current flows through it?
A
magnetic field
View source
How can we prove the existence of a magnetic field around a wire?
Using a
compass
to observe
deflection
View source
What factors affect the strength of the magnetic field around a wire?
Size of
current
and distance from wire
View source
What happens to the magnetic field if we change the direction of the current?
The
direction
of the magnetic field
changes
View source
How do we determine the direction of the magnetic field using the Right Hand Rule?
Thumb points
current direction
, fingers
field direction
View source
What is a solenoid?
A wire
coiled
into a loop
View source
What happens when current is turned on in a solenoid?
A strong and uniform
magnetic field
is produced
View source
What are three ways to increase the strength of a magnetic field produced by a solenoid?
Increase current, number of
turns
, add
iron core
View source
What is an electromagnet?
A
solenoid
with an
iron core
View source
What is a key advantage of electromagnets?
We can turn them
on and off
View source
How can we change the strength of an electromagnet's magnetic field?
By changing the
current
