What is a magnetic field?

area of magnetic force around a magnet

it's like a really big football field

area of a magnet around a magnetic force

Are the magnetic field lines in the picture correct?

Yes, because they point from north to south.

No, because they point from north to south (they're supposed to go the other way).

Yes, because the North pole is on the left in all pictures.

No, because the North pole is on the left in all pictures (it's supposed to be on the right).

Why does each electron in an atom behave like a tiny magnet?

The spinning of an electron produces a magnetic field.

The spinning of an proton produces a magnetic field.

To pull objects close to each other

to push objects away from each other

to change from one type to another

to push objects away from each other

to provide evidence that goes against a claim

an object, diagram, or computer program that helps us

when two objects come close together

Surrounding a magnet is a magnetic field. Surrounding an electron is an electric field. Surrounding Earth is

an alteration in space in which mass experiences a force.

Earth's gravitational field extends

both inside and outside Earth and throughout the entire universe

only above and beyond Earth's surface and cancels inside Earth

The direction of a gravitational field is

in the same direction as gravitational attraction.

away from the center of gravity of an object.

opposite to the direction of gravitational attraction.

The definition of gravitational field strength is:

The region of space surrounding a body where other bodies will feel an attractive force due to it.

The region of space surrounding a body where other bodies will feel an repulsive force due to it.

The region of space surrounding a charge where other charges will feel an attractive force due to it.

The region of space surrounding a charge where other charges will feel an repulsive force due to it.

The closer together the gravitational field lines.....

the stronger the gravitational field strength

the weaker the gravitational field strength

the more repulsive the gravitational field strength
