Every magnet has 2 poles, what are these called ?
North and South
1 of 37
A magnet which is free to move will always line up in a, what direction ?
In a north-south direction
2 of 37
Where is the magnetic forces to where it is the strongest ?
At the poles of the magnet
3 of 37
What happens when two magnets are brought close together ?
They exert a force on one another
4 of 37
Which sides repel each other ?
South and south. North and north.
5 of 37
Which sides attract each other ?
North and south
6 of 37
What is a magnetic field ?
A region around a magnet where it will exert a force on another magnet or on a magnetic material
7 of 37
Give examples of magnetic materials
e.g. iron, steel, cobalt or nickel
8 of 37
Why do we use plotting compasses ?
To investigate the magnetic field around a bar magnet
9 of 37
Which way do magnetic field lines point ?
Point from the north of a magnet to its south pole
10 of 37
What does the direction of the magnetic field show ?
The direction of the force that would be exerted on a north pole that was placed at that point in the field
11 of 37
Where is the magnetic field stronger ?
Where the field lines are closer together
12 of 37
A uniform magnetic field has the same _ and _
strength and direction everywhere
13 of 37
The earth has a what ?
a magnetic field
14 of 37
What will a compass needle do ?
Will always point in the direction of the Earth's magnetic field
15 of 37
what does the north pole of a compass point to ?
Earth's magnetic south pole
16 of 37
What is a permanent magnet ?
It produces its own magnetic field and it always has a north and south pole
17 of 37
If a magnet is permanent it can be both _ and _ by another magnet
ATTRACTED to and REPELLED by another magnet
18 of 37
When does an induced magnet become magnetic ?
When it is placed into a magnetic field
19 of 37
If a magnet is induced then it will only be ATTRACTED to what ?
a permanent magnet
20 of 37
What does the strength of a magnetic field depend on ?
The size of the current + distance from wire
21 of 37
What does a current flow through ?
A wire
22 of 37
MF and current carrying wire - When a current flows through a wire, a magnetic field will be produced around what ?
a wire
23 of 37
MF of a solenoid - What is the solenoid ?
a coil of wire that carries current and acts like a magnet so that a movable core is drawn into the coil when a current flows
24 of 37
Inside the coil (solenoid) the magnetic field lines are what ?
Evenly spaced apart and pointing in the same direction
25 of 37
Inside the coil (solenoid) the magnetic field is almost what ?
Uniform
26 of 37
What is strongest in the coil (solenoid) ?
The magnetic field
27 of 37
The magnetic field outside the coil (solenoid) is ?
Non-uniform
28 of 37
Outside the coil (solenoid) the field lines change in what way ?
They change direction + are not evenly spaced
29 of 37
Is the outside of the coil (solenoid) the magnetic field weaker or stronger ?
Weaker
30 of 37
How do we create an electromagnet ?
We can place an iron core into a solenoid
31 of 37
What rule do we use for a straight wire ?
Right hand grip rule
32 of 37
What rule do we use for a solenoid ?
Right hand grip rule
33 of 37
The strength of the magnetic field produced around a solenoid can be increased by what ? 1st point
Increasing the current
34 of 37
The strength of the magnetic field produced around a solenoid can be increased by what ? point 2
Using more turns of wire
35 of 37
The strength of the magnetic field produced around a solenoid can be increased by what ? point 3
Moving the turns closer together
36 of 37
The strength of the magnetic field produced around a solenoid can be increased by what ? point 4
putting a soft iron core into the middle of a solenoid
