| What is a solenoid? | A coil of wire that acts like a magnet |
| Magnetism is what kind of force? | field |
| Magnets are slightly attracted to what? | paramagnetic substances |
| The distance between field lines indicates what? | the strength of the field |
| The temperature at which a material will abruptly lose its ferromagnetic properties is called what? | the Curie Temperature |
| What happens if the magnetic field is unchanging ? | No current is produced. |
