| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is Magnetism? | Ability of a magnetic material to attract iron, nickel, and cobalt |
| The electrons of atoms of magnetic materials spin (mostly) in | One Direction |
| Neighboring atoms have their tiny magnetic fields aligned in the same direction. These aligned areas are | Domains |
| The domains ________, creating a North and South Pole | Rotate and Line Up |
| Space surrounding a magnet or electric circuit consist of lines of force in space called | Flux |
| Three characteristics of all magnetic flux fields | • Direction of Travel • Attraction • Distortion |
| Magnetic Flux travel in loops, South to North_______ a magnet | Inside |
| Magnetic Flux travel in loops, North to South ______ a magnet | Outside |
| Same Direction flux lines | Repel |
| Different Direction flux lines | Attract |
| ______ will distort a magnetic field | Magnetic materials (such as iron) |
| ______ will not distort a magnetic field | Materials that are not magnetic |
| Strong Attraction to magnetic field- | Ferromagnetic |
| Weak Attraction- | Paramagnetic |
| Weak Repulsion- | Diamagnetic |
| Plastic, Glass, & Rubber are | Nonmagnetic |
| Diamagnetic Examples | Water, Mercury |
| Paramagnetic Examples | Aluminum, Gadolinium, Platinum |
| Ferromagnetic Examples | Iron, Cobalt & Nickel |
| The force between two magnetic poles is_________ to the strength of the poles | Directly Proportional |
| The force between two magnetic poles is________ to the square of the distance separating them | Inversely Proportional |
