What is a magnetic field?

Back

A magnetic field is a region around a magnet where magnetic forces can be detected. It is represented by field lines that show the direction and strength of the magnetic force.

What are the two types of magnetic poles?

Back

The two types of magnetic poles are North and South poles. Like poles repel each other, while opposite poles attract.

Front

What happens when two magnets are brought close together?

Back

They can either attract or repel each other depending on the orientation of their poles.

What is the role of a compass?

Back

A compass is a navigational instrument that shows direction by aligning itself with Earth's magnetic field.

What is the traditional color for the North pole on a compass?

Back

Red.

Where is the magnetic field strongest in a magnet?

Back

The magnetic field is strongest at the poles of the magnet.

What is Earth's magnetic field?

Back

Earth's magnetic field is the magnetic field that extends from the Earth's interior out into space, affecting compass needles and other magnetic objects.

Front

How do magnetic fields affect charged particles?

Back

Magnetic fields exert a force on moving charged particles, causing them to move in a circular or spiral path.

Front

What is the right-hand rule in magnetism?

Back

The right-hand rule is a method used to determine the direction of the magnetic force, magnetic field, or current in a conductor.

Front

What is electromagnetic induction?

Back

Electromagnetic induction is the process of generating electric current in a conductor by changing the magnetic field around it.
