Magnetism Vocabulary
What happens to the magnetic field when magnets increase their distance
True or False: Electrostatic forces can attract AND repel objects
True
What do magnets attract or repel
other magnets and metals such as iron, copper and steel
Draw how to light up a light bulb with a wire and a battery
The wire, battery and light bulb must create a closed circuit by connecting all three together.
What is potential energy
stored energy
Draw Magnetic domains
1. Magnetized
2. Unmagnetized

Type of electricity where electric charges that build up on an object
Static Electricity
magnetics are an example of what type of force
Magnets
Electricity
Gravity
If you triple the number of wraps what happens to the the strength of an electromagnet?
Draw a magnetic Field
Magnetic Field
Part of the atom that contributes to electric charges
Electrons
What is a non-contact force?
A force that can push or pull without touching another object
Explain why a light will light up when connected properly
Electrons are flowing through the circuit
Why is electricity a form of potential energy?
The electrons have the potential to move through the circuit when it on and connect. When it is off/not connected the electrons stop moving
1. Draw 2 magnets attracting (label north and south)
2. Draw 2 magnets repelling (label north and south)
3. Identify if the magnets will attract or repel
1. N-S attract
2. S-S or N-N repell
Draw a picture of a balloon sticking to a wall. Draw the charges in the wall AND in the balloon that make it stick to the wall
Wall +/-- Balloon

Magnetism and electrostatic forces are similar in what ways?
answers will vary
What part of a circuit contains the potential energy for the whole circuit
battery
If a magnet can attract a paper clip through an 8cm block. Will it be able to attract the paper clip if the block is 4 cm? Explain your answer
yes, if the block is cut in half the magnetic field will be stronger and will still attract the paper clip
2 variables to strengthen force of a magnet
1. Bring magnets closer together
2. Use bigger magnets or add more magnets together
Draw and label an atom
Atom
If you cut a magnetic into 6 pieces you get what?
6 smaller magnets
How can you make a magnet using a wire, nail and battery
wrap the wire around the nail. Connect the wire to the battery. The more wraps the stronger the magnetic field
What is happening inside an electromagnet to create a magnetic field?
Electrons are moving, which align the magnetic domains inside the core, which then acts as a magnetic field
