What are circles?

200

When two magnets are brought together, what happens to their magnetic fields?

What is they interact?

Examples: The lines of force of north and south poles attract each other whereas those of two north poles repel each other.

What is the force that pushes two similar charges or poles away from each other?
200

Rubber is an example of this.

What is insulator?

300

Electrons flow in this direction compared to an electric current. 

What is the opposite direction?

300

Magnetic force is exerted over a distance and includes these forces.

What is Attraction and Repulsion?

300

The SI unit of charge for the coulomb.

What is C

6.25x10^18 electrons.

300

The attractive or repulsive interaction between two charged objects or bodies.

What is electric charge?

300

What direction does a compass always point?

What is North?

400

When determining the electron flow, we grasp a section of wire with our right hand pointing the thumb in the direction of the current flow and our fingers will curl around the wire in the direction of the magnetic field.

What is the Right Hand Rule?

400

A magnet can exert force over a distance because the magnet is surrounded by this.

What is a magnetic field?

400

A buildup of electric charges on objects

What is static Electricity?

400

The physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field. Can be positive, negative, or neutral.

What is Electric Charge?

400

What is the formula for Coulomb's Law?

What is 

Fe= Kq1q2/d^2


500

What are the two advantages of electromagnets?

What is:

1. They have extremely strong magnetic fields.

2. The magnetic field can be turned on and off. 

500

What happens to the magnetic force as an object moves away from the magnet?

What is it decreases or weakens?

500

Give an explanation for static discharge.

What is a sudden flow of electrons from one charged object to another?

Example: What happens when you have become negatively charged and your hand approaches the metal doorknocker? Your negatively charged hand repels electrons in the metal, so the electrons move to the other side of the knocker. This makes the side of the knocker closest to your hand positively charged. As your negatively charged hand gets very close to the positively charged side of the metal, the air between your hand and the knocker also becomes electrically charged.

500

A piece of iron (or an ore, alloy, or other material) that has its component atoms so ordered that the material exhibits properties of magnetism, such as attracting other iron-containing objects or aligning itself in an external magnetic field.

What is a magnet?
