What are the four magnetic metals?
Iron, nickel, steel, and cobalt
38
Describe the magnetic field inside a solenoid
Strong and Uniform
39
How can we use a compass to plot the pattern of the magnetic field lines around a magnet
Place plotting compass near the magnet on a piece of paper. Mark the direction the compass needle points. Move the plotting compass to many different positions in the magnetic field, marking the needle direction each time. Join the points to show the field lines
40
What is the effect called that causes a force to be exerted on a current-carrying wire when it is placed within a magnetic field
The motor effect
41
What is a permanent magnet?
A permanent magnet is one that produces its own magnetic field
42
What kind of magnet has the same magnetic field as the long coil of wire
A bar magnet
43
What direction do magnetic field lines go in
North to south
44
What is an induced magnet?
An induced magnet becomes a magnet in a magnetic field
45
Is magnetism a contact or non-contact force
Non-contact
46
What is a magnetic compass made off? What direction does it point in?
It is a small magnet and it points north
47
How does an electric motor work
A coil of wire carrying a current in a magnetic field experiences a force that makes it rotate. A split ring commutator changes the current direction every half turn
48
What happens to the strength of a magnetic field the further you go away from the magnet?
It weakens
49
What is the main advantage of using an electromagnet vs a permanent magnet
It can be turned of and on
50
What rule can we use to draw the magnetic pattern of a magnetic field pattern for a straight wire?
The right-hand rule
51
Like poles , unlike poles .
Like poles repel, unlike poles repel
52
What do the fingers stand for in Flemings' left-hand rule?
FBI (Direction of Force, Direction of Magnetic Field(N to S), Direction of current(+ to -)
53
Name 3 ways that we can make an electromagnet stronger.
You can increase the turns in the coil, add iron core, increase the current.
54
What is the difference between a contact and a non-contact force?
Contact forces need to touch, non contact do not
55
What causes a wire to produce a magnetic field
Electric current
56
What is the equation for the force of a current-carrying a wire
F = B x l x l (Force = Magnetic flux density x current x length of wire)
57
Where is the field of a bar magnet strongest
the poles
58
What is the scientific name for a long coil of wire
A solenoid
