Magnets and Electromagnets

What materials are attracted to magnets?

• Copper, Zinc, and Lead

• Iron, Nickel, and Cobalt

• Aluminum, Silver, and Gold

• Plastic, Wood, and Glass

What is the Earth's magnetic field?

• A magnetic field that extends from the Earth's interior out into space, protecting the planet from solar winds.

• A field created by the rotation of the Earth that affects weather patterns.

• A magnetic field generated by the sun that influences the Earth's climate.

• A force that pulls objects towards the Earth's center, known as gravity.

What is the magnetic field?

• The area around a magnet where magnetic forces can be felt.

• A type of energy that can be seen with the naked eye.

• The force that pulls objects towards the Earth.

• A phenomenon that occurs only in electric circuits.

What is the role of electric current in an electromagnet?

• Electric current creates a magnetic field around the wire, turning it into a magnet.

• Electric current increases the resistance of the wire.

• Electric current cools down the wire to prevent overheating.

• Electric current converts the wire into a superconductor.

What is an electromagnet?

• A type of magnet created by electric current that can be turned on and off.

• A permanent magnet that does not require electricity.

• A magnet that only works in high temperatures.

• A type of magnet that is made from rare earth materials.

What is a magnetic force?

• A type of force that only attracts metals.

• The attraction or repulsion that occurs between magnetic materials or magnets.

• A force that only exists in electric fields.

• A force that can only be felt by living organisms.

How can the strength of an electromagnet be changed?

• By adjusting the amount of electric current flowing through it

• By changing the color of the wire

• By increasing the temperature of the wire

• By using a stronger magnet nearby

What happens when like poles of two magnets are brought together?

• They attract each other.

• They repel each other.

• They create a magnetic field.

• They have no effect on each other.

What is the significance of the magnetic field lines?

• They indicate the presence of electric fields.

• They represent the direction and strength of the magnetic field, showing how the magnetic force is distributed in space.

• They are used to measure the temperature of a magnet.

• They show the speed of moving charged particles.

What is a magnet?

• A device that generates electricity.

• An object that produces a magnetic field, attracting certain metals like iron, nickel, and cobalt.

• A tool used for measuring temperature.

• A type of rock that contains iron.
