how many poles does every magnet have
2
what are the names of the poles that magnets have
north and south
where is the magnetic field the strongest
at the poles of the magnet
opposite poles…
attract
like poles….
repel
what happens when two magnets are brought close together
the magnets exert a force on one another
what is a magnetic field
the region around a magnet there it will exert a force on another magnet/ magnetic matroe;
how many magnetic matriels are there
4
what are the magnntic matriels
iron, steel, cobalt and nickel
what two things can be used to investigate a magnetic
- plotting compass - align compass around bar magnet
2, iron fillings
where is the magnetic field stronger
where the firled lines are close together
what two things does a uniform magnetic field have
the same strenth and same direction
when does a uniform fiekd have the same strength and same direction
when north and south are close together
what does earth have
a magnetoic field
the north ppoel of earth is the..
earths magnetic south pole
where will a compass needdle always pount
in the direction of the earths magnetic field
where does the north pole of a compass point
to the earth;s south poel
what does a permant magnet do
it can produce its own mangetic field and always has a north south pole
if a magnet is permaant, what can it be attracted and repeled by
another magnet
when does an induced magnet become magnetic
when it is placed into a magnet field
if a magnet is induced, what will it only be attracgted to
permanet magnet
what happens when current flows throufh a wire
a magnetic fiekd will be produced around the wire
what does the strentgth of the magnetic field depend on
the size of the current and the distance from the wire
what is the right hand grip rule
- thumb shows the directiion of current
- where your fingger coils shpws the direction of the magnetic field
