9th Science CH22 Magnetism and Its Uses

TermDefinition
alternating current (AC) electric current that reverses its direction in a regular pattern;the 60-Hz AC in our homes changes direction 120 times each second
ammeter a galvanometer that measures electrical current passing through in amperes; connected in series with the circuit
direct current (DC) electrical current that flows in only one direction through a wire
electric motor a device that contains a rotating electromagnet that changes electrical energy to mechanical energy
electromagnet strong temporary magnet made by inserting an iron core into a wire coil and passing an electric current through the coil
electromagnetic induction process by which electrical current is induced in a wire when it is moved through a magnetic field
generator a device that uses electromagnetic induction to induce electrical current by rotating loops of wire through a magnetic field
magnetic domain groups of atoms with aligned magnetic poles
magnetic field the region around a magnet where magnetic forces act
magnetic pole the two ends of a piece of magnetic material where the magnetic forces are strongest, labeled north pole (N) and south pole (S)
magnetism a property of some materials in which there is a force of repulsion or attraction between certain like and unlike poles
superconductor a supercooled material that has no electrical resistance ; a current can flow indefinitely through a superconductor without losing energy
transformer a device that can increase or decrease the voltage of an alternating current
voltmeter a galvanometer that measures potential differences in volts and is placed in parallel across a part of the circuit

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
