Electric and Magnetic Forces

Front

What is Electric Current?

Back

Electric Current is the flow of electric charge, typically carried by moving electrons in a wire.

Front

What happens when like poles of magnets are brought together?

Back

Like poles repel each other.

Front

What is an Electromagnet?

Back

An Electromagnet is a type of magnet whose magnetic field is produced by the flow of electric current.

Front

What is created when electrons flow from a negative terminal to a positive terminal?

Back

A Current is created.

Front

What is Magnetism?

Back

Magnetism is a force that occurs due to the attractive and repulsive forces between two magnetic poles.

Front

What are the two types of electric charges?

Back

Positive and Negative charges.

Front

What is the relationship between electricity and magnetism?

Back

Electricity and magnetism are interrelated; electric currents create magnetic fields, and changing magnetic fields can induce electric currents.

Front

What is Static Electricity?

Back

Static Electricity is the buildup of electric charge on the surface of objects.

Front

What is the unit of electric current?

Back

The unit of electric current is the Ampere (A).

Front

What is a Magnetic Field?

Back

A Magnetic Field is the region around a magnet where magnetic forces can be detected.
