Magnetism

Front

What happens when two magnets have the same poles facing each other?

Back

They will repel each other.

Front

What is the arrangement of electrons in magnetic materials compared to non-magnetic materials?

Back

The electrons in magnetic materials all line up in the same direction, while in non-magnetic materials, they go in different directions.

Front

True or False: All metals stick to magnets.

Back

False.

Front

What are two common characteristics of magnetism and gravity?

Back

They both form fields and are non-contact forces.

Front

Which metals are attracted to magnets?

Back

Front

What is magnetism?

Back

Magnetism is a force that can attract or repel certain materials, primarily metals like iron, nickel, and cobalt.

Front

What is a magnetic field?

Back

A magnetic field is the area around a magnet where magnetic forces can be felt.

Front

What is the difference between a permanent magnet and a temporary magnet?

Back

A permanent magnet retains its magnetism over time, while a temporary magnet only exhibits magnetic properties when in a magnetic field.

Front

What is the role of electrons in magnetism?

Back

Electrons create magnetic fields when they move, and their alignment in materials determines if the material is magnetic.

Front

What is the North Pole of a magnet?

Back

The North Pole is the end of a magnet that is attracted to the Earth's geographic North.
