Magnetism

Question 1

Magnetism

Answer 1

Attractive and repelling forces contained in magnetic materials

Question 2

Magnetic Moment

Answer 2

Magnetic field generated by an electron

Question 3

Magnetic North Pole

Answer 3

Area of Earth that magnetic materials align with

Question 4

Law of Magnetic Poles

Answer 4

Opposite poles attracts similar poles repel

N = S
S = N
N X N
S X S

Question 5

Ferromagnetic

Answer 5

Material with a strong attraction to magnetic fields

Iron and Colbalt are examples of Ferromagnetic materials

Ferro - Iron

Question 6

Paramagnetic

Answer 6

Material that has a slight effect on magnetic fields

Aluminum gives a weak magnetic attraction

Question 7

Diamagnetic or Nonmagnetic

Answer 7

Material that is unaffected by magnetic fields

Salt and Mercury are examples of nonmagnetic materials

Question 8

Van Allen Belts

Answer 8

Donut-shaped magnetic fields surrounding the earth

Question 9

Aurora Borealis

Answer 9

Northern Lights

Question 10

Aurora Australis

Answer 10

Southern Lights

Question 11

Aurora Oval

Answer 11

The latitudes surrounding the poles in which Auroras occur

The area in which the Auroras can occur in the north or south pole

Question 12

Solar Maximum

Answer 12

When sunspot activity is highest

Question 13

Solar Minimum

Answer 13

When sunspot activity is lowest

Question 14

Magnetosphere

Answer 14

The Earth’s magnetic field

Question 15

What does Van Allen’s belt do?

Answer 15

It traps harmful radiation in the form of charged particles from the sun and protects the earth from them

Question 16

Geographic North Pole vs. Magnetic North Pole

Answer 16

The geographic north pole is located at the northmost side of our plantet.

The magnetic north pole is where the highest consentration of magnetic force is located on the earth.

Magnetic North Pole: Resolute Bay, Canada in the Arctic Ocean

Question 17

Fun Fact #1!

Answer 17

The earth’s magnetic field decreases a little each year. If this decreasing has been constant in the past, this would prove the earth much younger than evolutionist believe it to be.

APOLOGETICS!

Question 18

Relating to Fun Fact #1

Fun Fact #2!

Answer 18

The earth would seem to lose half of it’s energy every 1,460 years. If the rate of decay is constant, the magnetic field would have been so strong only 20,000 years ago that it would have caused massice heating in the Earth’s crust and would have killed all life on Earth. This supports the idea of an Earth that is only about 6,000 years old, as indicated in the Bible

Which means if the earth is 6000 years old and we lose half of our energy let’s just say every 1500 years, then we’re at 1/16th of our original power

Question 19

Electromagnet

Answer 19

Magnetic field generated by current flowing through a wire

Question 20

Generator

Answer 20

Mechanism for converting a changing magnetic field into a flow of current

Like converting a magnetic field into energy

Question 21

Motor

Answer 21

Mechanism for converting changing current inside a magnetic field into mechanical energy
