Ch. 16 Electromagnetism

A magnet with strong magnetic properties is

• a temporary magnet
• a permanent magnet
• a ferromagnet
• electromagnet

This is a magnet made by an electric current

• temporary
• permanent
• electromagnet
• ferromagnet

This magnet loses magnetization easily

• temporary
• electromagnet
• ferromagnet
• permanent

This material is hard to magnetize, but stays magnetized

• temporary
• permanent
• ferromagnet
• electromagnet

Magnets point north because

• Earth is one giant magnet
• Magnets don't point north
• the equator shifts the planet
• Mrs. Owens said so...

Any material that attracts iron is a(n)

• magnet
• electricity
• copper
• solenoid

The points on a magnet that have opposite magnetic qualities are the

• magnetic poles
• triangles
• Earth's equator
• electromagnets

The magnetic pole that points to the north is the magnet's

• south pole
• north pole
• east pole
• west pole

The magnetic pole that points to the south is the magnet's

• south pole
• north pole
• east pole
• west pole

The force that can either push magnets apart or pull them together is

• magnetic field
• magnetic force
• aurora
• ferromagnet
