Magnetic Force

Front

Magnet Noun

---

[mag-nit]

Back

Magnet

---

An object that produces a magnetic field, allowing it to attract certain materials like iron and other magnets.

---

Example: A bar magnet with arrows showing the magnetic field lines from the north to the south pole.

Front

Interaction Noun

---

[in-ter-ak-shun]

Back

Interaction

---

A mutual action or influence that occurs between two or more objects, resulting in a change of motion or energy.

---

Example: Red and blue spheres show how magnetic poles interact, demonstrating mutual influence.

Front

Magnetic Force Noun

---

[mag-net-ik fors]

Back

Magnetic Force

---

The specific push or pull exerted by a magnet when it interacts with another magnetic object or material.

---

Example: Two magnets with similar poles facing each other show repulsion, illustrating magnetic force.

Front

Force at a Distance Noun

---

[fors at uh dis-tuhns]

Back

Force at a Distance

---

A force that acts between objects that are not in direct physical contact, such as gravity or magnetism.

---

Example: Two magnets with similar poles facing each other show repulsion, illustrating magnetic force acting at a distance.

Front

Magnetic Poles Noun

---

[mag-net-ik pohls]

Back

Magnetic Poles

---

The two specific ends of a magnet, typically labeled north and south, where the magnetic force is most concentrated.

---

Example: The image shows a magnet with north and south poles and magnetic field lines.

Front

Repel Verb

---

[ri-pel]

Back

Repel

---

To push away or force back, which occurs when two like magnetic poles are brought near each other.

---

Example: Two like magnetic poles push away from each other, demonstrating 'repel'.

Front

Attract Verb

---

[uh-trakt]

Back

Attract

---

To pull toward something, which occurs when two opposite magnetic poles are brought near each other.

---

Example: Opposite magnetic poles attract each other, shown by arrows pointing towards each other.

Front

Permanent Magnet Noun

---

[pur-muh-nuhnt mag-nit]

Back

Permanent Magnet

---

A material that retains its magnetic properties for a long time without needing an external magnetic field or current.

---

Example: A bar magnet with labeled poles and field lines shows how it retains magnetism.

Front

Temporary Magnet Noun

---

[tem-puh-rer-ee mag-nit]

Back

Temporary Magnet

---

A material that behaves like a magnet only while it is in the presence of an external magnetic field.

---

Example: A coil of wire around a metal core becomes a magnet when current flows, showing temporary magnetism.

Front

Magnetic Field Noun

---

[mag-net-ik feeld]

Back

Magnetic Field

---

The invisible area of magnetic force that surrounds a magnet, exerting force on other magnetic materials within it.

---

Example: This diagram shows magnetic field lines around a magnet, illustrating the invisible force area.
