What is a magnetic field?
Region with magnetic force
Match the property with its corresponding value for magnetic and electric fields:
Representation ↔️ Magnetic field lines ||| Electric field lines
Direction ↔️ Tangent to field lines
The density of magnetic field lines indicates the field's
strength
What are the two main sources of magnetic fields?
Moving charges, permanent magnets
Match the property with its correct source of magnetic field:
Source ↔️ Moving electric charges ||| Permanent magnets
Persistence ↔️ Temporary ||| Persistent
Magnetic field lines from permanent magnets are directed from the north pole to the
south
pole.
Arrange the following properties of magnetic field lines in a logical order:
1️⃣ Continuous loops
2️⃣ Direction indicated by tangent
3️⃣ Strength represented by density
How do magnetic field lines differ from electric field lines in terms of their shape?
Continuous loops
The density of magnetic field lines represents the
strength
The tangent to a
magnetic field
line at any point indicates the direction of the magnetic field.
True
What is the source of a magnetic field according to electromagnetism?
Moving electric charges
Magnetic field lines inside a permanent magnet are directed from the north pole to the
south pole
.
True
What is the direction of magnetic field lines created by permanent magnets?
North to south
Match the property with its source of the magnetic field:
Moving electric charges ↔️ Circular field lines
Permanent magnets ↔️ North to south direction
The magnetic force on a moving charge is given by the equation
F = qvB
.
What rule is used to determine the direction of the force on a moving charge in a magnetic field?
Right-hand rule
What is magnetic force exerted on?
Moving charges or current-carrying conductors
Steps to determine the direction of magnetic force on a current-carrying conductor using the right-hand rule.
1️⃣ Point your thumb in the direction of the current
2️⃣ Point your fingers in the direction of the magnetic field
3️⃣ Your palm shows the direction of the force
The force on a current-carrying conductor is parallel to the magnetic field.
False
What are the parameters in the equation F = qvB?
Charge, velocity, magnetic field
What do magnetic field lines represent?
Direction and strength
The source of a magnetic field can be stationary electric charges.
False
What direction do magnetic field lines travel outside a permanent magnet?
North to South
Magnetic field lines have a beginning and an end like electric field lines.
False
The strength of a magnetic field is measured in units of tesla or newtons per ampere-
meter
The strength of a magnetic field is measured in units of
tesla
Match the properties of magnetic and electric fields:
Direction ↔️ Tangent to field lines
Strength ↔️ Density of field lines
The direction of magnetic force on a moving charge is perpendicular to both velocity and magnetic field.
True
The right-hand rule is used to determine the direction of magnetic force on a
current-carrying conductor
.
True
The magnetic field around a straight wire forms concentric
circles
The field strength inside a solenoid is proportional to the number of
turns
Arrange the applications of magnetic fields by their primary function:
1️⃣ Motors: Convert electrical to mechanical energy
2️⃣ Generators: Convert mechanical to electrical energy
3️⃣ Transformers: Change voltage in AC circuits
4️⃣ MRI: Image body using strong magnetic fields
Maglev trains use magnetic repulsion to levitate above the track.
True
Magnetic fields and electric fields are identical in all properties.
False
What is the source of a magnetic field?
Moving electric charges, magnets
Magnetic field lines have a starting and ending point.
False
Inside a permanent magnet, magnetic field lines are directed from the north pole to the
south
pole.
A magnetic field from moving
charges
is temporary.
True
What are magnetic field lines used to represent?
Direction and strength of field
Magnetic field lines can begin or end at charges, similar to electric field lines.
False
