| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Magnetism | a force of attraction or repulsion. |
| What three materials are magnets attracted to | Iron Nickel Cobalt |
| Magnetic fields | regions of a magnetic force around a magnet. |
| Every magnet has a pole | North and South |
| The relationship between electricity and magnetism | Electromagnetic |
| Where is the attraction of a magnet the strongest | The center between two magnets |
| four ways you can increase the strength of an electromagnet | Adding more turns of a wire around the iron core Adding more batteries or more voltage Using a thicker iron core. Creates more magnetic domains Using a thicker wire. (More current, larger magnetic field) |
| Why are electromagnets temporary magnets? | Because the magnetic field is only present when the current flows through them. |
| single wire wrapped into a cylindrical wire coil | Solenoid |
| electromagnetic induction | Occurs when an electric current is produced by moving a wire in a magnetic field. |
