Magnetism/Force & Motion Study Guide

The force

created when
magnets attract
(pull towards) or

repel (push
away) each

other.

-

-

One end of a magnet

will be positively

charged and the other
end will be negatively
charged. Opposite ends

are attractedto each
other and like charges

repel each other.

The area around the

magnet is called a
magnetic field.

Each end of a

magnet is called the
north pole or south
pole. The lines show
the strength and
direction of the
magnetic field.

I thought the

ends of magnets

were negative

and positive, not
north and south?

They can be

called

negative &
positive or
North and

South

Earth is a giant
magnet. It has
north and south
magnetic poles
and a magnetic

field.

The north end of

a compass is
drawn to align

with Earth's

magnetic North

Pole.

What do you

think causes the

Earth to be a

magnet?

The Earth’s iron

core.

Everything

non-living thing is

made up of
atoms. Inside

atoms are

protons,neutrons

& electrons.

Occurs when

there are

more protons

(+) than

electrons (-).

Occurs when
there are more

electrons (-)
than protons

(+).

Negative
Charge

Positive
Charge

Just like with

magnets, LIKE

charges ( - - or + +)

will REPEL (push

away) each other.
UNLIKE charges ( -
+) will ATTRACT (pull

towards) each

other.

The ______ you are to the
electric field the _______

the charge.

CLOSER

STRONGER

What is Static

Electricity?

Static

electricity
is the build

up of an
electrical
charge on

the

surface of
an object.

the sudden giving
off of energy (i.e.
spark or lightning)

What is electric

discharge?
