Front

What is an attractive force in magnetism?

Back

An attractive force occurs when opposite poles of magnets (north and south) come together.

Front

What is a ferromagnetic material?

Back

A material that can be magnetized, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt.

Front

Front

What is the result of dropping or hitting a temporary magnet?

Back

Its magnetic domains may come out of alignment, causing it to lose its magnetism.

Front

What is the magnetic field?

Back

The area around a magnet where magnetic forces can be detected.

Front

What is the difference between permanent and temporary magnets?

Back

Permanent magnets maintain their magnetism, while temporary magnets only exhibit magnetism when in a magnetic field.

Front

What is the role of magnetic domains in magnetism?

Back

Magnetic domains are regions within a material where the magnetic fields of atoms are aligned in the same direction.
