Permanent magnets are naturally magnetized materials with aligned magnetic
domains
Match the type of magnetic material with its definition:
Ferromagnetic ↔️ Strongly attracted to magnets
Paramagnetic ↔️ Weakly attracted to magnets
Diamagnetic ↔️ Weakly repelled by magnets
What direction do magnetic field lines emerge from?
North pole
Magnetic field lines form
closed loops
.
True
In the Lorentz force equation,
q
q
q
represents the charge of the particle
What is an example of a permanent magnet?
Compass needle
What is an example of a paramagnetic material?
Aluminum
Electric currents produce
magnetic fields
.
True
Iron is an example of a ferromagnetic
material
Arrange the steps to apply the right-hand rule for magnetic forces:
1️⃣ Point your thumb in the direction of the velocity.
2️⃣ Point your fingers in the direction of the magnetic field.
3️⃣ Your palm shows the direction of the force on a positive charge.
Ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted to
magnets
Like
magnetic poles
repel each other.
True
Which magnetic material retains magnetism once removed from a field?
Ferromagnetic
Magnetic field lines emerge from North poles and enter
South poles
.
True
What is the charge of a proton used in example calculations?
+e
What direction is the force on a positive charge moving eastward in a magnetic field pointing northward?
Upward
What is a magnetic field defined as?
Region with magnetic force
What happens when like magnetic poles interact?
Repulsion
Water is a diamagnetic material.
True
What does the Lorentz force equation describe?
Force on charged particle
The Lorentz force is always perpendicular to both velocity and
magnetic field
.
True
Copper is an example of a diamagnetic
material
Diamagnetic materials are weakly repelled by
magnets
Magnetic field lines are closer together where the field is
stronger
Magnetic field lines can intersect each other.
False
The Lorentz force equation describes the force on a charged particle moving in a magnetic
field
What does
B
⃗
\vec{B}
B
represent in the Lorentz force equation?
Magnetic field vector
The magnetic force on a charged particle is calculated using the Lorentz force
equation
Steps to use the right-hand rule for magnetic forces
1️⃣ Point fingers along the velocity vector
2️⃣ Curl fingers towards the magnetic field
3️⃣ Thumb indicates the magnetic force direction
What type of loops do magnetic field lines always form?
Closed loops
The Lorentz force is perpendicular to both velocity and the
magnetic field
.
True
Steps to apply the Lorentz force equation
1️⃣ Identify the charge, velocity, and magnetic field
2️⃣ Use the right-hand rule to determine the force direction
3️⃣ Calculate the magnitude of the force
The magnetic force on a proton moving in a magnetic field is calculated to be
