Magnets and Electromagnetism Flashcards
any object that are capable of attracting and producing its own magnetic field.
magnet
these are the materials that are attracted to magnet
iron, steel, nickel and cobalt
it is a piece of the material magnetite that has become naturally magnetized
permanent magnet
2 Artificial Magnets
1.) Ferromagnet
2. Electromagnet
it is a metal or substance that can be a magnet in the presence of magnetic field
Ferromagnet
the magnetic field is produced by electric current
Electromagnet
physical phenomenon by the motion of electric charge
Magnetism
it is the region around a magnet in which there is a force
Magnetic Field
the ________ the two magnet is, the ________ the magnetism
closer, stronger
magnetic line of force start from _____ pole to ______ pole
north pole to south pole
the word ‘lodestone’ comes from the Anglo-Saxon word that means?
leading stone
we use these lines to indicate the magnetic field
magnetic field lines
when you bring two magnet together, what are the 2 possible field interaction that could happen?
it can be either attraction or repulsion
what happens if the opposite pole of two magnets are brought close to each other?
the direction of the magnetic field aligns, causing attraction between the two magnets
what happens if same poles of two magnets are brought close to each other?
the magnets will repel and the fields will create a neutral point where no magnetic field is felt
