permanent and induced magnets Flashcards

Students should be able to describe: • the attraction and repulsion between unlike and like poles for permanent magnets • the difference between permanent and induced magnets. (2 cards)

Q

describe:
* the attraction and repulsion between unlike and like poles for
permanent magnet

A

The poles of a magnet are the places where the magnetic forces
are strongest. When two magnets are brought close together they
exert a force on each other. Two like poles repel each other. Two
unlike poles attract each other. Attraction and repulsion between
two magnetic poles are examples of non-contact force.

Q
  • Describe the difference between permanent and induced magnets
    and what force do induced magnets exert
A

A permanent magnet produces its own magnetic field.
An induced magnet is a material that becomes a magnet when it is placed in a
magnetic field. Induced magnetism always causes a force of
attraction. When removed from the magnetic field an induced
magnet loses most/all of its magnetism quickly
