| When a magnet is divided, does it keep both the north and south magnetic poles? | yes |
| What type of force is magnetism? | a field force |
| How can you model a magnetice field? | By using magnetic lines of force, which are similar to an electir field's lines of force. |
| Magnetice lines of force are ________________ loops. | continuous |
| The direction of the field line is determined by: | the direction a tiny compass would point. |
| Magnetic field lines point ________________ from north magentic poles and toward _________________ magnetic poles. | away, south |
