S2S4 Magnetic & Electrical Forces

Front

What is the relationship between electricity and magnetism?

Back

Electricity and magnetism are interconnected; changes in electric fields can create magnetic fields and vice versa, a principle discovered by Michael Faraday.

Front

What happens to electric charges that are alike?

Back

Electric charges that are alike repel each other.

Front

What is the area around a magnet called?

Back

The entire region surrounding a magnet is known as the Magnetic Field.

Front

What are the two poles of a magnet?

Back

Every magnet has a North and South pole.

Front

What occurs when electrical and/or magnetic fields overlap?

Back

When electrical and/or magnetic fields overlap, motion occurs.

Front

What is a magnetic domain?

Back

A magnetic domain is a region within a magnetic material where the magnetic fields of atoms are aligned in the same direction.

Front

What is an electromagnet?

Back

An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current.

Front

What is static electricity?

Back

Static electricity is the buildup of electric charge on the surface of objects, which can cause them to attract or repel each other.

Front

What is the principle of electromagnetic induction?

Back

Electromagnetic induction is the process of generating electric current from a changing magnetic field.

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows electric charges to flow through it easily, such as metals.
