Shows how electricity and magnetism are related to each other

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
magnet   material that attracts iron  
🗑
magnetic pole   one of two points such as the ends of a magnet that have opposite magnetic properties  
🗑
magnetic force   the force of attraction or repulsion created by moving or spinning electric charges  
🗑
atoms   a very small building blocks of matter  
🗑
domains   small sections of atoms that are lined up to make a magnetic field  
🗑
ferromagnets   magnets made or iron, cobalt, and nickel  
🗑
temporary magnets   easy to magnetize, but doesn't stay magnetized for long  
🗑
permanent magnets   difficult to magnetize, but remain magnetized for longer amounts of time  
🗑
Earth's core   the area of the earth with moving iron that creates our magnetic field...not every planet has this  
🗑
aurora   a curtain of lights which result from solar wind burning up in the atmosphere at the poles  
🗑
electromagnetism   interaction of electricity and magnetism  
🗑
solenoid   a coil of wire with an electric current running through it...creates a magnetic field  
🗑
electromagnet   a solenoid with a iron core...strong magnetic field  
🗑
electric motor   changes electrical energy to mechanical energy (it can do work)  
🗑
electric generator   changes mechanical energy (work of machines) to electrical energy  
🗑
electromagnetic induction   creating electrical current by moving a magnetic field past a coil of wires  
🗑
Hans Christian Oersted   (1820) discovered that moving charges (electricity) can create magnetic fields  
🗑
how to strengthen electromagnets   More loops of wire - More electricity - More metal in the core of the solonoid  
🗑
types of turbines   wind - water - geothermal - nuclear ----- all of them turn to generate electricity by passing magnets by wires to move electrons  
🗑
north geographic pole ("top" of the Earth)   south magnetic pole  
🗑
Michael Faraday   (1831) discovered that changing magnetic fields (moving magnets) make electrons flow in wires (electricity)  
🗑
types of magnets   ferromagnets, electromagnets, permanent, temporary  
🗑
how to "mess up" a magnet   store it with other magnets in a disorderly way - extreme heat - dropping it - hitting it  
🗑
how to create a magnet   rub a magnet against the iron, nickel, or cobalt to line up the atoms into organized domains....get the atoms to line up  
🗑
electrons   particles in the outside area of the atom.....when they move and go from atom to atom we call it "electricity"  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
