Grade 6 Physics Magnet Quiz

What are the two main types of magnets?

• Positive and negative magnets

• Metal and plastic magnets

• North and South magnets

• Permanent magnets and electromagnets

Which type of magnet is made from a material that is easily magnetized, such as iron?

• Permanent magnet

• Non-magnetic material

• Electromagnet

• Temporary magnet

What are the properties of a temporary magnet?

• Always retains magnetism even when the magnetic field is removed

• Easily magnetized and demagnetized, loses magnetism when the magnetic field is removed

• Difficult to magnetize and demagnetize

• Does not lose magnetism when the magnetic field is removed

What is the difference between natural and artificial magnets?

• Natural magnets are man-made, while artificial magnets occur naturally

• Natural magnets are found in nature, while artificial magnets are created by humans.

• Artificial magnets are found in nature, while natural magnets are created by humans

• Natural magnets are stronger than artificial magnets

What happens when two like magnetic poles are brought close to each other?

• They attract each other

• They create a neutral field

• They explode

• They repel each other

What are the names of the two ends of a magnet?

• left pole and right pole

• top pole and bottom pole

• north pole and south pole

• positive pole and negative pole

What are some examples of magnetic materials?

• Aluminum, copper, brass

• Iron, nickel, cobalt, and certain types of steel

• Wood, plastic, glass

• Water, air, paper

What is the difference between ferromagnetic, paramagnetic, and diamagnetic materials?

• Ferromagnetic materials have no magnetic properties, paramagnetic materials have weak magnetic properties, and diamagnetic materials have strong magnetic properties.

• Ferromagnetic materials are attracted to magnets, paramagnetic materials are repelled by magnets, and diamagnetic materials have no interaction with magnets.

• Ferromagnetic, paramagnetic, and diamagnetic materials have different levels of attraction or repulsion to magnets.

• Ferromagnetic materials are transparent, paramagnetic materials are opaque, and diamagnetic materials are translucent.

How do magnetic materials behave when placed in an external magnetic field?

• They create their own magnetic field opposite to the external magnetic field.

• They repel the external magnetic field.

• They align themselves with the external magnetic field.

• They become transparent to the external magnetic field.
