p7- magmatism and electroism Flashcards
poles
the places on a magnet where the magnetic forces are stongest
magnetic feild
the area around a magnet where a force acts on another magnet or magnetic material
repel
when two like poles are brought close together
atract
when two diffrent poles are brought close together
perment magnets
a magnet that has it’s own magnetic feild
induced magnet
a magnetic material that becomes magmatised when placed in a magnetic feild
magnetic material
iron
steel
cobalt
nickel
compass
contain small bar magnets which points to the north pole of the earths magnetic field
solenoid
coiol of wire that will create a magnetic feild when current is passed through it
electromagnet
a solenoid conting an iron core
motor effect
when a conductor carrying a current is placed in a magnetic feild the magnet producing the feild and the conductor exert a force on each other
