6 Magnetism Flashcards
What are the ends of a bar magnet called?

north pole
and
south pole
Where is the magnetic field the strongest around this bar magnet?
How can we tell this from the magnetic field lines?

Magnetic field is strongest at the poles
because
Field lines are close together indicating a stronger field.
How can you create a uniform field using two bar magnets?
Place the N pole of one magnet facing the S pole of the other.
Move them so that they are close but not touching
There is a uniform field between the poles

Describe the magnetic field created when the N-pole of one bar magnet is near the S-pole of another.

Uniform field
Magnetic field lines are parallel AND evenly spaced
What is a magnetic field?
A region of space where a magnetic material experiences a force.
Draw an attracting field between a North and South pole.

What is the point called between two N-poles of a magnet where their magnetic field cancels?

neutral point

What is the law of magnetism?
Like poles repel
Unlike poles attract

What is the difference between the domains in a magnetically hard material and a magnetically soft material?
Magnetically hard- difficult for domains to align in a field (also difficult for domains which are lined up to de-align)
Magnetically soft- easy for domains to align in a magnetic field and then de-align when field is removed.

What is a permanent magnet made of? Magnetically hard material or magnetically soft?
Magnetically hard- so that it does not lose its magnetism easily
How can you observe THE SHAPE of a magnetic field around a magnet?
- Pace paper over top the magnet
- Sprinkle iron filing on the paper
- Tap the paper to help the iron filings line up in the field

What happens when an iron nail is brought near the N Pole of a magnet.
The nail is attracted to the N-pole
A magnetism is induced in the nail because it is made of iron.
