Magnetic Forces

Front

What are ferromagnetic elements?

Back

Elements that have an especially strong attraction to magnets.

Front

What are magnetic materials?

Back

Materials that become magnets when the magnetic fields of the magnetic domains line up in the same direction.

Front

Where is the strongest magnetic field located?

Back

At the magnetic poles.

Front

What is a magnet?

Back

An object that attracts iron or other materials that have magnetic qualities similar to iron.

Front

What happens when a magnetic material comes in contact with a magnet?

Back

Its magnetic domains fall into alignment and it begins to attract other objects made of magnetic material.

Front

What is a magnetic domain?

Back

A region within a magnetic material where the magnetic fields of atoms are aligned in the same direction.

Front

What is the difference between magnetic and non-magnetic materials?

Back

Magnetic materials can be magnetized and attract magnets, while non-magnetic materials do not.

Front

What is magnetic force?

Back

Front

What is the role of the center of a magnet?

Back

The center of a magnet has a weaker magnetic field compared to the poles.
