Grade 6 Magnetic Fields Quiz

What is the definition of 'attract'?

• To push objects away from each other

• To pull objects toward one another

• To move metals at a distance

• To store energy in a magnetic field

What is the key concept about the pattern of magnetic field lines around attracting magnets?

• The pattern is only visible in strong magnets

• The pattern is the same as around repelling magnets

• The pattern does not exist

• The pattern is different from around repelling magnets

What is the rule about magnets and nonmetals?

• Magnets always move wood or other nonmetals

• Magnets never move wood or other nonmetals

• Magnets only move wood but not other nonmetals

• Magnets sometimes move wood or other nonmetals

What is the key concept about the energy used to move a magnet against a magnetic force?

• It is converted to kinetic energy in the magnetic field

• It is converted to potential energy in the magnetic field

• It is converted to potential energy in the magnet

• It is converted to kinetic energy in the magnet

What is the key concept about creating a model of a magnetic system?

• It helps scientists study the potential for speed

• It helps scientists understand the Earth's geomagnetism

• It helps scientists create new magnets

• It helps scientists test and explain the relationship between force and energy

What is the key concept about the magnetic force between two magnets?

• It is stronger when the magnets are made of different materials

• It is stronger when the magnets are misaligned

• It is stronger when the magnets are further apart

• It is stronger closer to a magnet

What is the key concept about the potential energy stored in the launcher system?

• More potential energy can be stored by moving against the magnetic force of a nonmetal

• More potential energy can be stored by moving against the magnetic force of a weaker magnet

• More potential energy can be stored by moving against the magnetic force further from a magnet

• More potential energy can be stored by moving against the magnetic force of a stronger magnet

What is the rule about magnets and like poles?

• Magnets never move when like poles are next to each other

• Magnets sometimes attract and sometimes repel when like poles are next to each other

• Magnets always attract when like poles are next to each other

• Magnets always repel when like poles are next to each other

What is the key concept about the magnetic field lines around repelling magnets?

• The pattern is only visible in weak magnets

• The pattern is the same as around attracting magnets

• The pattern is different from around attracting magnets

• The pattern does not exist

What is the rule about magnets and metals?

• Magnets only move specific types of metals

• Magnets sometimes move metals

• Magnets never move metals

• Magnets always move metals
