Magnetism

Magnetic field lines can cross and eventually will cross at some point.

• True
• False

The further you move the compass away from the magnet, it will stop pointing towards the north or south and will start pointing at random objects.

• True
• False

Magnetic field lines decrease in strength the further you move away from a magnet.

• False

The experiment with the magnet and compass showed the magnetic field lines. Why do the lines not cross?

• The field lines did cross.
• The field lines are arranged from stronger to weaker where the stronger ones are closer to the magnet.

If you are given a random sample of mixed materials and it does contain iron filings, which of the following would you use to remove the iron filings?

• A magnet
• Water
• A strainer or funnel
• A piece of wood

When two magnets with opposite poles face each other, their magnetic fields...

• form two fields, which look like two distinct fields around each magnet
• form one field, which looks like a circle between the magnets
