What happens to an iron paperclip when placed near a permanent magnet without touching it?

It becomes permanently magnetized

Nothing happens to the paperclip

Why can you create a chain of paperclips hanging from a magnet?

Each paperclip becomes an induced magnet

The paperclips are naturally magnetic

The paperclips become permanently magnetized

The magnet's strength increases with each paperclip

Which of the following BEST describes the direction of magnetic field lines?

Perpendicular to the magnet's surface

If you could see magnetic field lines, how would they appear near the poles compared to the center of a bar magnet?

More concentrated near the poles

What determines the strength of the magnetic force between two magnets?

Both the distance and strength of the magnets

Only the strength of each magnet

The temperature of the surrounding environment

Why might iron filings arranged around a magnet not give a complete picture of the magnetic field?

They don't show the direction of the field

They interfere with the magnetic field

What would happen to the magnetic field if you cut a bar magnet in half?

Each half would have its own North and South pole

The field would become twice as strong

One half would be North, the other South

How does the concept of magnetic fields explain why magnets can attract objects without touching them?

The magnetic field extends beyond the physical magnet

Magnets release invisible particles

Air becomes magnetized between objects

Gravity increases between magnetic objects

How would you expect the magnetic field around an electromagnet to differ from that around a permanent magnet?

It would only attract, not repel

If you had a very powerful magnet, how might its magnetic field affect a compass several meters away?

It might cause slight inaccuracies in the compass reading

It would demagnetize the compass

It wouldn't affect the compass at all

It would completely override Earth's magnetic field

How would you label pole 3 in the picture below?

South because it is being repelled from pole S across from it.

North because it is being attracted to pole N across from it.

South because it is being attracted to pole N across from it.

North because it is being repelled from pole N across from it.

Based on the magnetic field line diagrams, what will happen next with these two sets of magnets?

The magnets in Set 1 will repel, and the magnets in Set 2 will attract.

The magnets in Set 1 will attract, and the magnets in Set 2 will repel.

The magnets in Set 1 will not move, and the magnets in Set 2 will attract.

In both sets, the magnets will attract.

Which answer describes the pictures correctly?

The left drawing shows attraction and the right drawing shows repulsion of magnetic forces.

Both drawings show attraction of magnetic forces.

The left drawing shows repulsion and the right drawing shows attraction of magnetic forces.

Both drawings show repulsion of magnetic forces.

Eli is holding two magnets close to each other. What will happen when he lets go?

The magnets will move away from each other because the magnetic force will push the magnets apart.

The magnets will not move because the magnets are not touching.

The magnets will move closer to each other because the magnetic force will pull the magnets together.

The magnets will move away from each other because the magnets are not touching.

Why does a compass needle point north?

Because the North end of the compass lines up with the Earth's magnetic south pole

Because north is up and you know that up is always north or the stratosphere.

What would happen to the magnetic field if you cut a bar magnet in half?

Each half would have its own North and South pole

The field would become twice as strong

One half would be North, the other South
