Pregunta Respuesta
What is a magnetic compass? → A magnetic compass is a tiny magnetic needle pivoted at it's centre. → One end always point North, the other, south. This is because of Earth's magnetic field.
What is the general rule of attractions between magnets? Like poles repel, unlike poles attract.
What are magnetic materials? Materials that are attracted to magnets. They include: → Iron → Nickel → Cobalt → steel
Define demagnetise. To remove magnetism from a magnetic material. All magnetic materials CAN be demagnetised/magnetised.
Permanent magnets are made of steel, because . . . . . . steel does not lose it's magnetism easily, unlike iron.
Define magnetic field. The region around a magnet in which it's magnetic force is still effective.
What does a magnetic field look like, for a bar magnet? What can be used to show the shape of it? Iron filings are used to present the shape of a magnetic field. A plotting compass can be used, too.
Plotting compasses showing the magnetic field
Magnetic field lines are also known as lines of _ _ _ _ _ . The lines are most concentrated at the _ _ _ _ _, because the field is strongest there. a) Lines of force. b) poles.
The further away the plotting compass is from the magnet, the _ _ _ _ _ _ the force of the field on the compass. a) weaker.
Define induced magnetism. An unmagnetised magnetic material can be magnetised by placing it in a magnetic field. The magnetic field is said to "induce" magnetism on the material.
