Forces Gravity Magnetism And Electricity

Joe has an idea to cut a bar magnet in half so that he can have one magnet with a north pole and one magnet with a south pole. What is wrong with this idea?

• It is impossible to cut a magnet in half.
• It is impossible to create an extremely small magnet.
• It is impossible to create a magnet with only one magnetic pole.
• It is impossible to separate two opposite magnetic poles once they are in contact with each other.

Where is the magnetic force the strongest?

• Position A

• Position B

• Position C

• Position D

• Both mass and weight are greater on the Moon.
• Both mass and weight are less on the Moon.
• Mass is the same, but weight is less on the Moon.
• Weight is the same, but mass is less on the Moon.

What option best describes this field?

• An electric field generated by two positive charges. They would attract each other.

• An electric field generated by two negative charge which would attract each other.

• An electric field generated by two opposite charges. They would attract each other.
