Science Magnetism
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Magnetism | a force of attraction or repulsion |
| Earth’s magnetic field comes from | the inner core where iron, and nickel are found. |
| Magnets have the ability to attract items that are made of these three materials. | Iron Nickel Cobalt |
| Magnetic fields | the regions of a magnetic force around a magnet. Magnets have magnetic fields that are invisible. |
| Every magnet has a ______ and _______ ______ | NORTH and SOUTH pole |
| If two of the same poles come together, the magnets will what? | repel JUST LIKE ELECTRONS WITH THE SAME CHARGE! |
| If two opposite poles come together, the magnets will what? | attract JUST LIKE ELECTRONS WITH OPPOSITE CHARGES |
| Why is Earth a natural magnet | a natural magnet because the core is made of iron and nickel (which is magnetic) |
| Why does a compass point towards geographical North all of the time. | It is attracted to the south magnetic pole. |
| Electromagnetism | When an electric current passes through a wire, a magnetic field forms around the wire. The relationship between electricity and magnetism. |
| Electromagnets | are temporary magnets because the magnetic field is only present when the current flows through them |
| The strength of the electromagnet can be increased by the following… | Adding more turns of a wire around the iron core. Magnetic field Adding more batteries or more voltage. Current Using a thicker iron core. Creates more magnetic domains Using a thicker wire. (More current, larger magnetic field) |
| Solenoids | a single wire wrapped into a cylindrical wire coil. |
| Once you open the circuit, the power source of a electromagnet the power source goes _____ | OFF |
| Electromagnetic Induction | occurs when an electric current is produced by moving a wire in a magnetic field. |
| what 3 other materials could be used to make an electromagnet? | Iron Nickel Cobalt |
| Why are The paper clips attracted to the nail? | When an electric current passes through a wire, a magnetic field forms around the wire. The paper clips then Are attracted to the nail because it is magnetic. |
