• diamagnetic

• paramagnetic

• nonmagnetic

• ferromagnetic

When a group of dipoles (or magnetic moments) are aligned, they create _____.

• a paramagnetic material

• a north pole

An electron moving in a conductor

• causes the conductor to bend.

• produces a magnetic field in the conductor.

• causes the conductor to behave as a bar magnet.

• produces a magnetic field perpendicular to the conductor.
