Electromagnets
Physical science test - Dupont - Electromagnets
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Where a compass points to | Magnetic North |
| Becomes a magnet near a magnet, then loses its magnetism when moved away. | Temporary magnet |
| Anything that attracts or repels another magnet or magnetic material. | Magnet |
| The North Pole; where maps point to as north. | True north |
| Does not lose its magnetism: lodestone and magnetite are only types. | Permanent magnet |
| The center of an electromagnet. | Core |
| A magnetic navigational device that point toward magnetic north. | Compass |
| The area in which magnets will feel magnetic force. More arrows show a stronger one. | Magnetic field |
| Best magnetic substance; more of this in an electromagnetic core makes it stronger. | Iron |
| A magnet made from electricity. | Electromagnet |
| Two magnetic north or south poles: | Repel |
| A magnetic north and south pole: | Attract |
| 3 ways to increase an electromagnet | 1) Use a stronger battery 2) Increase and tighten the coils 3) Add more iron to the core |
| How do you draw a magnetic field | - drawn from North pole to South pole; - closer or more arrows = stronger field. |
