Magnetism Flashcards
the force between charged objects
Electric Force
the region around a charged object where the object’s electric force is exerted on other charged objects.
Electric Field
the continuous flow of electric charges.
Electric Current
a complete, unbroken path through which electric charges can flow.
Electric Circuit
a material that allows heat or electric charges to flow.
Conductor
a material that does NOT allow heat or electric charges to flow.
Insulator
any material that attracts iron and materials that contain iron.
Magnet
the force of attraction or repulsion of magnetic materials.
Magnetism
the ends of a magnetic object, where the magnetic force is strongest.
Magnetic Poles
a force produced when magnetic poles interact.
Magnetic Force
the region around a magnet where the magnetic force is exerted.
Magnetic Field
lines that map out the magnetic field around a magnet.
Magnetic Field Lines
the relationship between electricity and magnets.
Electromagnetism
a magnet created by wrapping a wire with a current running through it around a core of material that is easily magnetized.
Electromagnet
a device that transforms electrical energy to mechanical energy.
Electric Motor
