  • Magnets are any material capable of attracting magnetic materials, creating a magnetic field, which have two poles: the south pole and the north pole.
  • Induced Magnetism: When a piece of unmagnetized magnetic material touches or is brought near to the pole of a permanent magnet, it becomes a magnet itself.
  • Magnetic Induction: The process by which a substance, such as iron or steel, becomes magnetized by a magnetic field.
  • Temporary magnets are magnets that perform like permanent magnets when in the presence of a magnetic field, but lose magnetism when not in a magnetic field.
  • Permanent magnets are magnets that retain their magnetism once magnetized.
  • Electromagnets are wound coils of wire that function as magnets when an electrical current is passed through.
  • The attractive property of magnets is that they attract other magnetic substances like iron, cobalt, and nickel.
  • The repulsive property of magnets is that like magnetic poles repel each other and unlike magnetic poles attract each other.
  • Magnetism refers to physical phenomena arising from the force caused by magnets, objects that produce fields that attract or repel other objects.
  • The magnetic field is the region surrounding a magnet in which the force of the magnet can be experienced.
  • Magnetic field lines always start from the north pole and end at the south pole.
  • Inside the magnetic field, the field lines are from the south pole to the north pole.
  • Electric current is electric charge in motion.
  • The field is strong when the lines are close together, and it is weak when the field lines move apart from each other.
  • Positive charge (protons) and Negative charge (electrons) are types of electric charge.
  • Electric field lines provide a means to visualize the electric field.
  • Strength of magnetic field weakens as field lines spread out.
  • Magnetic field strength depends on the closeness of the magnetic field lines.
  • Electric field lines start from positive charge and end on negative charge.
  • Electricity is the presence and the flow of electric charges.
  • The closer the magnetic field lines, the stronger the magnetic field.
  • Electric charge is the physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field.
  • Magnetic field is strongest at the poles of a magnet.
  • The unit for current is Ampere (A).
  • Field lines never intersect each other.
  • Electric field is the region around the charge particle within which the other charges experience the force of attraction and repulsion.
  • Electric field lines are a vector quantity that have arrows showing the direction of electric field.
