  • at which part of a magnet are the magnetic forces strongest?
    the poles of a magnet
  • what happens when magnets are brought close together?
    they exert a force on eachother
  • what type of force is exerted when two like poles of a magnet are brought close together?
    repulsive , non-contact force
  • what type of force is exerted when two unlike poles of a magnet are brought close together?
    attractive , non-contact force
  • different between permanent magnet & induced magnet:
    • permanent magnet produces its own magnet field
    • induced magnet becomes a magnet when placed in a magnetic field
  • what type of force does induced magnetism always cause?
    attraction
  • what happens when an induced magnet is removed from a magnetic field?
    it loses most/all of its magnetism quickly
  • what is an induced magnet?
    magnetic material which when placed in a magnetic field becomes magnetised
