Magnetism Flashcards
North Pole and South Pole
Like poles repel and unlike polss attract
Ferromagnetic
Materials are materials that form permanent magnets or are attached to magnets
Magnetic field
A region in space in which a magnet or ferromagnetic material will experience a magnetic force
North Pole
North because it attracts the North pole of a magnet, it’s magnetically a South pole
South pole
South because it attracts the South pole of the magnet so it’s magnetically north
Angle of declination
Angle between the geographic north pole and magnetic north pole
Solar Wind
Stream of charged particles released from the upper atmosphere of the sun called corona
Coronal Mass Ejection
Significant release of plasma ( charged gas ) and magnetic field
