When an object that is made of magnetic material but is not a magnet comes in contact with a magnet _____.

• Its magnetic domains fall into alignment and it begins to repel other objects made of magnetic material

• its magnetic domains fall out of alignment and it begins to repel other objects made of magnetic material

• Its magnetic domains fall into alignment and it begins to attract other objects made of magnetic material

• its magnetic domains fall out of alignment and it begins to attract other objects made of magnetic material

How can you make an item that is made of magnetic material become a permanent magnet instead of a temporary magnet?

• You can heat it while it is being influenced by a magnetic field.

• You can heat it and then let it cool it in a very strong magnetic field.

• You can leave it in the magnetic field of an actual magnet for a long time.

• You can do any of the above.

Which part of the magnet has the strongest magnetic field?

• magnetic domains

• center of the magnet

• magnetic fields

• magnetic poles

What would happen to the magnetic field of a magnet, if the strength of the magnet increased?

• The magnetic field would decrease and will not be able to attract objects from a distance.

• The magnetic field will increase and will be able to attract objects from farther away.

• There would be no change to the magnetic field.

• The magnetic field would break.

What would atoms in nonmagnetic materials look like?

• They would be organized into domains.

• Atoms would all face the same direction

• The atoms would be organized in domains and the domains would be aligned.

• Atoms would NOT be in domains and they would face in different directions.

What is one way to make a temporary magnet?

• There is no such thing as a temporary magnet.

• By putting two magnets close to each other.

• By rubbing an iron nail on a magnet.

• By putting a nonmagnetic material near a strong magnetic field.
