Magnets

Earth acts like a giant magnet because its center is made up MOSTLY of

• granite
• limestone
• iron
• nickel

Where is the strongest attraction force of the magnet?

• at the poles
• in the middle
• above the magnet
• below the magnet

Magnetism is generated by moving

• protons.
• electrons.
• neutrons.
• elements.

As the distance between two magnets increases (they get farther apart), the force between them:

• Increases
• Decreases
• Stays the Same

If you cut a magnet in half, what happens to the poles?

• One half gets the North Pole, the other half gets the South Pole
• Both halves get only a North Pole
• Both halves get only a South Pole
• Both halves get a North pole and a South Pole

What characteristics do magnetic substances have?

• They can give you a "shock" when you touch them
• They can push or pull objects without touching them
• They are always black and cold to touch
• They fall faster than other objects when you drop them

What kind of magnet can be turned on and off?

• refridgerator magnet
• electromagnet
• magnetite
• iron

The two poles on a magnet are

• north and east
• north and west
• south and north
• south and west

Electricity can be used to create a magnet

• True
• False

You can make an electromagnet stronger by...

• increasing the current through the wire
• make the iron core bigger
• increase the number of loops around the core
• All of these
