Which statement is true about magnets?
Magnets will attract other magnets if like poles are brought together.
Example : North pole and North Pole
Magnets will repel other magnets if unlike poles are brought together.
Example: North Pole and South Pole
The strength of a magnet is weakest at its poles.
The strength of a magnet is greatest at its poles.
A student arranges two magnets so that the north poles of the magnets are close to each other. How will the magnetic force act in this arrangement?
The magnetic force will cause the magnets to attract one another.
The magnetic force will cause the magnets to repel one another.
The magnetic force will cause the magnets to move parallel to one another.
The magnetic force will cause the magnets to remain in the same position.
A student does an experiment with a permanent magnet. The student records the data in a chart.
Which question was the student most likely answering during the investigation?
How strong is the magnetic force of a permanent magnet?
What causes a permanent magnet to lose its magnetism?
What kinds of materials are attracted to magnets?
.Can a magnet attract an object through other materials?
A student uses a magnet to try to pick up a large paper clip. The paper clip is made of steel. The magnet does not pick up the paper clip.
This means the paper clip is too (small / heavy).
The student should move the magnet (closer to / farther from) the paper clip.
small
closer to
small,
farther from
heavy,
closer to
heavy,
farther from
A student is comparing two magnets. Magnet Y is a horseshoe magnet, and Magnet X is an electromagnet made with a battery, wire, and a nail.
Which problem can the student solve using magnet X but not magnet Y?
Sorting paper clips from a pile of plastic straws.
Picking up a small steel washer.
Making the north pole of the magnet attract another magnet’s south pole.
Iron illings need to picked up and moved to another spot.
The picture shows the poles of magnets interacting. Which pairs of magnets will attract each other? Select two answers.
PAIR 1
PAIR 2
PAIR 3
PAIR 4
The pictures shows metal items around two types of magnets.
Which magnet would be better for picking up metal items from one location and dropping them in another? Why?
Magnet A because it has a stronger magnetic pull than Magnet B
Magnet B because the power source can be turned off, so the bus can fall.
Magnet B because it has a weaker magnetic pull than
Magnet A
Magnet A because the opposite pole can be used to drop the paper clips
How does this picture provide evidence that magnetism is stronger than gravity?
The paper clips are defying gravity by flying up to the hand
The magnet is strong enough to hold paper clips.
The magnet is passing magnetism to the hand that the paper clips are drawn to.
The paper clips are being pushed by gravity to stay in the air.
A student has one bar magnet with its poles labeled and another bar magnet with its poles labeled X and Y. The student places the magnet with unknown poles near the first bag magnet in two different ways to see how the magnet moves in each case. The arrows above the magnets in the image show the movement.
How should the poles X and Y be classified?
Both X and Y are south poles.
Both X and Y are north poles.
X is the south pole, and Y is the north pole.
X is the north pole, and Y is the south pole.
