  • According to the video, what should you be able to do by the end of it?
    Describe forces when magnets are brought together
  • What is one thing you should be able to describe by the end of this video?
    The difference between permanent and induced magnets
  • What are the two ends of a bar magnet called?
    Poles
  • What are the two types of poles on a bar magnet?
    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 are brought close together?
    They repel each other
  • What happens when two unlike poles are brought close together?
    They attract each other
  • What type of force is the attraction and repulsion between magnetic poles?
    Non-contact force
  • Why is the force between magnets considered a non-contact force?
    Magnets don't have to touch to experience it
  • What does a permanent magnet produce?
    Its own magnetic field
  • If you bring two permanent magnets together, what determines whether they attract or repel?
    The direction of the poles
  • What is an induced magnet?
    An object that becomes a magnet in a magnetic field
  • What is a 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
  • Where can you find plenty of questions on permanent and induced magnets?
    In my revision workbook
  • According to the video's introduction, what should you be able to describe by the end of the video?
    What's meant by a magnetic field
  • What else should you be able to describe by the end of this video?
    How to plot a magnetic field pattern
  • What are the two types of magnets mentioned in the video?
    Permanent and induced
  • What final skill should you gain from this video?
    Evidence that the Earth's core is magnetic
  • What is characteristic of a permanent magnet?
    It always has a magnetic field
  • What is an induced magnet?
    A material magnetized when placed in a magnetic field
  • Name one of the four magnetic materials mentioned?
    Iron
  • How many types of magnetic materials are mentioned as a key fact?
    Four
  • What alloy is also a magnetic material?
    Steel
  • What is steel an alloy of?
    Iron
  • Name one of the other magnetic materials that compose steel alloy?
    Cobalt
  • What is the last of the four magnetic materials mentioned?
    Nickel
  • What can all four of these magnetic materials be made into?
    A permanent or induced magnet
  • What is a magnetic field?
    A region around a magnet with force
  • What happens when a magnetic material like iron is placed in a magnetic field?
    It experiences a force of attraction
  • What does the strength of the magnetic field depend on?
    Distance from the magnet
  • Where is the magnetic field strongest?
    At the poles of the magnet
  • What can be used to find the direction of a magnetic field?
    A compass
  • What does a magnetic compass contain?
    A small bar magnet
  • How do you plot the magnetic field using a compass?
    • Place the compass near the North Pole of the magnet.
    • Draw a cross at the North Pole of the compass.
    • Move the compass so the South Pole is on the cross.
    • Draw a cross at the new North Pole of the compass.
    • Repeat until you plot a complete field line.
    • Connect the dots with a line and add an arrow indicating direction from North to South.
    • Repeat starting at different points around the North Pole.
  • What does the proximity of magnetic field lines indicate?
    Where the field is strongest
  • What does a compass needle pointing north-south away from magnets suggest?
    Earth has its own magnetic field
  • What causes the Earth's magnetic field?
    The Earth's core
  • If iron is placed twice as far from a magnet, how does the force change?
    The force of attraction decreases
