The density of
magnetic field lines
indicates the strength of the magnetic field.
True
Magnetic field lines point from the north pole to the
south
A magnetic field exerts force on both stationary and moving charges.
False
Magnetic field lines point from the north pole to the
south
A magnetic field exerts force on both stationary and moving charges.
False
The density of
magnetic field lines
indicates the strength of the magnetic field.
True
Closer magnetic field lines indicate a
stronger
magnetic field.
True
A moving charge creates a magnetic field, while a stationary charge creates an
electric
How is the strength of a magnetic field indicated?
Density of field lines
The density of magnetic field lines indicates the
strength
of the magnetic field.
True
What type of charges does a magnetic field exert force on?
Moving charges
What does the right-hand rule determine in the context of magnetic force on a moving charge?
Force direction
What creates a magnetic field around itself?
Moving charge
What indicates the strength and direction of a magnetic field?
Magnetic field lines
What do magnetic field lines show the path of?
A small compass needle
What is the direction of magnetic field lines?
North to south
Magnetic fields are created by moving
charges
.
The magnetic force acts only on moving
charges
.
What does the right-hand rule help determine for a current-carrying wire in a magnetic field?
Force direction
One weber is equal to the magnetic flux passing through 1 square meter when the magnetic field strength is 1 tesla.
True
What is the unit of magnetic flux?
Weber
What is a magnetic field?
Region around a magnet
Magnetic field lines indicate the direction that a small compass
needle
would align with.
Magnetic field lines point from the north pole to the
south pole
.
True
A stationary charge creates a magnetic field around itself.
False
What does your palm face in the right-hand rule for magnetic force on a moving charge?
Direction of magnetic force
What is one factor that determines the magnetic force on a current-carrying wire placed in a magnetic field?
Current (I)
Match the variables with their units in the magnetic force formula:
F ↔️ Newtons (N)
B ↔️ Teslas (T)
I ↔️ Amperes (A)
L ↔️ Meters (m)
What is magnetic flux defined as?
Total magnetic field through area
What is the formula for calculating magnetic flux?
Φ = B × A
Exposure to strong magnetic fields in
medical physics
can pose risks.
True
What is a magnetic field represented by?
Magnetic field lines
The direction of a magnetic field is determined by magnetic field lines, which point from the north pole to the
south
The right-hand rule is used to determine the direction of the magnetic field created by a moving positive charge.
True
Magnetic field lines point from the north pole to the
south
Magnetic field lines point from the north pole to the
south
pole.
The strength of a magnetic field is proportional to its line
density
.
The direction of a magnetic field around a moving charge is circular.
True
What type of charges does an electric force act on?
Stationary and moving
Magnetic flux is defined as the product of magnetic field strength and the area perpendicular to the
field
.
