FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Magnetism Noun
[mag-ni-tiz-uhm]
Back
Magnetism
A class of physical phenomena mediated by magnetic fields, involving forces of attraction or repulsion due to electron motion.
Example: This image shows that when the similar poles of two magnets (North and North) are brought close together, they create a repulsive magnetic force that pushes them apart.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Magnetic Pole Noun
[mag-net-ik pohl]
Back
Magnetic Pole
The regions at the ends of a magnet, labeled north and south, where the magnetic field is the strongest.
Example: This diagram shows a bar magnet with its two magnetic poles, North (N) and South (S), where the magnetic force is strongest.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Repulsion Noun
[ri-puhl-shuhn]
Back
Repulsion
The magnetic force that acts between like poles, causing them to push away from each other.
Example: This image shows that when two identical magnetic poles (North-North or South-South) are brought near each other, they push each other away, which is called repulsion.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Attraction Noun
[uh-trak-shuhn]
Back
Attraction
The magnetic force that acts between opposite poles, causing them to draw together and connect.
Example: This diagram shows two bar magnets where the North pole of one magnet and the South pole of another are attracting, or pulling toward, each other.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Magnetic Field Noun
[mag-net-ik feeld]
Back
Magnetic Field
The region of space around a magnet in which the force of the magnet can be detected and felt.
Example: This diagram shows the invisible magnetic field around a bar magnet, with arrows pointing from the North pole to the South pole to show the field's direction.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Magnetic Field Lines Noun
[mag-net-ik feeld lynz]
Back
Magnetic Field Lines
Imaginary lines used to represent the strength and direction of a magnetic field, flowing from north to south poles.
Example: This diagram shows the invisible magnetic field lines around a bar magnet, with arrows indicating the direction of the force from the north pole to the south pole.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Ferromagnetic Adjective
[fer-oh-mag-net-ik]
Back
Ferromagnetic
Describing materials, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt, that can be strongly magnetized and attracted to magnets.
Example: This image shows how a ferromagnetic material, like the iron filings shown, is strongly attracted to a magnet and aligns with its invisible magnetic field lines.
