Magnetism

Where is the force of attraction the strongest on a magnet?

• above the magnet

• at the poles

• below the magnet

• in the middle

How is a permanent magnet DIFFERENT from a temporary magnet?

• A permanent magnet attracts materials made of iron.

• A permanent magnet has a magnetic field.

• A permanent magnet has poles.

• A permanent magnet keeps its magnetism for a long time.

As the distance between two magnets increases (they get farther apart), the force between them:

• Increases
• Decreases
• Stays the Same

If you cut a magnet in half, what happens to the poles?

• One half gets the North Pole, the other half gets the South Pole
• Both halves get only a North Pole
• Both halves get only a South Pole
• Both halves get a North pole and a South Pole

If the North Pole of a permanent magnet is placed next to a compass as seen in the picture, which direction will the needle move?

• Clockwise
• Counter-clockwise
• It will not move
• Need more information

A paper clip is an example of a:

• magnetic material
• permanent magnet
• bar magnet
• insulator

In un-magnetized materials the domains are __________ aligned.

• super
• slightly
• randomly
• always

Region around a magnet in which magnetic force can act.

• Magnetic field 
• Magnetic force
• Domain
• Perimeter

On Earth, where is Magnetic North approximately located?

• The Equator
• The North Pole
• The South Pole
• New Brighton

Magnetism is generated by moving

• protons.
• electrons.
• neutrons.
• elements.
