| All magnets have 2 what? | They have 2 Poles, North and South |
| What are the 3 Magnetic Materials | Iron
Nickel
Copper |
| What is the Magnetic Field? | This is a space that a Magnetic Material can Experience a Fore |
| What do Magnetic Field Lines show? | They shows the:
Direction of the Magnetic Field [This always goes from North to South.]
The Magnitude of the Magnetic Field. This is called the Magnetic Flux Density, which is measured via Tesla's [T] |
| If you put 2 Bar Magnets next to each other, with Opposite Poles, what happens? | The Magnetic Field would be a Uniform Field. Its equal. [North points towards the South] |
| How can Iron Fillings help finding a Magnetic Field? | Simply put the Magnet under a Piece of Paper, that has Iron Fillings resting on top.
The Iron Fillings will Align themselves with what the Field Lines should be showing. |
| How can a Compass help finding a Magnetic Field? Is Iron Fillings better? | Place the Magnet on a Piece of Paper, and put a Compass next to it
The needle of the Compass will point where the Field Lines are going.
You can mark this Direction by using a Pencil or Pen
Repeating this numerous of times can show a Field Line
The Drawing of the Field Lines will stay there, but the Iron Fillings won't when Removed. It can also be the result of a mess. |
| What direction will a Compass Point when a Magnet is not Influencing it? What can this Prove? | North. This can say that the Earth has a Magnetic North and South Pole, so the Core must be Magnetic [Made of Iron] |
| So do the Same Poles Attract? | No. They will Repel because the Field Lines are not Lining up |
| What happens when a Magnet is brought near a Magnetic Material? | The Magnetic Material will become a Magnet by the Original Magnet.
The Original Magnet will be called a Permeant Magnet
The Magnet that get's activated is called the Induced Magnet.
The Induced Magnet, once out of the Permeant Magnets Field will lose their Magnetic Field |
