What do the lines around this magnet represent? (a)  

• North Pole
• South Pole
• Magnetic Declination
• Magnetic Field

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

• 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
