1
Q
WHAT IS MAGNETISM?
A
- FORCE THAT ALLOWS MAGNETS TO ATTRACT OR REPEL EACH OTHER.
2
Q
WHAT IS ELECTROMAGNETISM?
A
- INVOLVES BOTH ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELD.
- IT IS CREATED WHEN ELECTRIC CURRENT FLOWS THROUGH A WIRE, PRODUCING A MAGNETIC FIELD AROUND IT.
3
Q
WHAT ARE THE APPLICATIONS OF MAGNETISM?
A
- COMPASSES
- FRIDGE MAGNETS
- HARD DRIVE
4
Q
WHAT ARE THE APPLICATIONS OF ELECTROMAGNETISM?
A
- MOTORS
- GENERATORS
- HOSPITAL EQUIPMENTS LIKE MRI ( MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING)
5
Q
ANOTHER DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MAGNETISM AND ELECTROMAGNETISM.
A
- MAGNETISM EXISTS NATURALLY IN SOME MATERIALS.
- ELECTROMAGNETISM REQUIRES ELECTRIC CURRENT TO CREATE A MAGNETIC FIELD.
