Magnetic poles are always in _____________
pairs (north and south)
Electrons move to one part of an object because it is in the electric field of another object.
Induction
Transfer of electrons from one object to another by rubbing.
Friction
North and South
The area around a magnet where the magnetic force is exerted.
What is a magnetic field
Tiny groups of charged atoms inside iron. Also is another name for atoms.
What are domains
materials that do NOT allow electricity to flow through easily
Insulator
Electrons transfer from object with contact.
Conduction
What makes something magnetic?
The atoms (or domains) in the object must be aligned or lined up.
What happens when you cut a magnet into 2 pieces? Why?
Each piece will have a north pole and south pole because the domains inside the magnet re-align.
a push or pull exerted by a magnet
Magnetic Force
Temporary magnets made from a wire carrying a current around a metal core.
Electromagnets
True/False: The magnetic field is strongest close to the poles.
True
True/False: The needle of a compass always points South
FALSE. The needle will always point North
material that allows electricity to flow through it easily
Conductors
What happens when you have two south poles?
They will repel
