Alexandra was preparing to go on a hike in the woods. She gathered the equipment she would need and placed it on the kitchen counter. By chance, she placed her compass near an electrical outlet. Although the compass was not moving, the compass needle turned because ______.
the electric current in the outlet produced a magnetic field

What happens when you split a magnet in half?
It becomes twice as strong
You end up with two smaller magnets
You end up with a North Pole magnet and a South Pole Magnet (as long as you split it perfectly in half)
Your magnet loses all of it's magnetism (it leaks out of the break)
Why does a compass align itself with Earth's North Pole?
Because compass needles are slightly magnetized and align themselves with earth's magnetic field
Because one of the poles of the magnet is called the North Pole, so it would only make sense that it would be on the North side
They don't actually do this, they just align themselves with the North side of a map
Because North is slightly downhill (as long as you are in the Northern Hemisphere) so gravity causes the compass to point North
What happens when an object with random magnetic domains is placed into a strong magnetic field?
It is attracted to the magnetic field
It aligns with the field and shoots off like superman
It aligns with the field and usually becomes a temporary magnet itself
Its domains start moving faster and it gets warmer
What happens magnetically when electricity runs through a wire (or any charged particle moves).
Nothing, magnetism and electricity are separate phenomenon
The magnetic field matches that of the Earth
It generates a magnetic field around the wire
It uses magnetism to move the charge through the wire
