Magnetism Study Guide Magnets: Magnets are metal objects that attract other metals. Most magnets are made of iron, but they can also be made of other metals like nickel and cobalt. Magnets come in different sizes, shapes, and strengths. bar magnet horseshoe magnet The ends of a magnet are called poles. Every magnet has a north and south pole. Sometimes they are labeled, but not always. Like poles (north-north or south-south) repel, or push each other away. Unlike poles (north-south) attract. N S S These magnets repel each other. N N S N S These magnets attract each other. Every magnet has an invisible magnetic field around it. The magnetic field is the area in which a magnet has magnetic force, or power. Lines of force extend from the poles of a magnet in an arched pattern and show us that the effect of a magnet is strongest at its poles. In this picture, you can see the magnetic field because small pieces of iron have been placed under the magnet. The pieces align themselves along the lines of force and show us the magnet’s magnetic field. Uses for Magnets: Most people are familiar with magnets that we use on a refrigerator. Magnets have many more everyday uses. For example, they can be found in electronic equipment (like computers), household items, and even clothing. Magnets can also be used to generate electricity. This can be done by moving a magnet through a coil of wire. The moving magnetic field creates an electric current. An electric generator produces electricity this way. © Alyssa Teaches Magnets can be used to help us find our way. A compass is an instrument that uses a freely moving magnetic needle to show directions. The needle aligns itself with Earth’s magnetic field and points to the north. Electromagnets: Unlike a permanent magnet that keeps its magnetism when it is removed from a magnetic field, an electromagnet is a temporary magnet. It depends on electricity to work. In a simple electromagnet, a wire is wrapped around an iron object and a current is passed through the wire. The current creates a magnetic field around the wire, and it will act like a magnet as long as the current is flowing. This means that an electromagnet can be turned on and off. Electromagnets are often used in scrap yards to lift and move heavy pieces of metal. They are also used in common household appliances and objects like door bells, telephones, TVs, and computers. How to Make an Electromagnet: Want to make a simple electromagnet yourself? All you need to do is create a closed circuit using an insulated wire, iron nail (or other iron object), and a battery. Wrap the wire tightly around the nail (using about 10 coils). Connect the ends of the wire to the battery to pass a current through the coiled wire. Test your electromagnet by trying to pick up some paper clips! You can make your electromagnet stronger by adding more turns to the coiled wire, which increases the current. You can make it weaker by decreasing the turns. © Alyssa Teaches Name: ______________________________________ Magnetism Review 1. What are magnets made of? What will they attract? 2.

ANSWER KEY Name: ______________________________________ Magnetism Review 1. What are magnets made of? What will they attract? Magnets are made of metals like iron, cobalt, and nickel. They will attract other metal objects. 2. Draw two magnets that will attract/repel each other in the box below. Drawings will vary. N-S attract N-N or S-S repel 3. How can you determine a magnet’s poles if they aren’t labeled? You could bring another magnet (that is labeled) close to the magnet. For example, if you put the north pole of the labeled magnet next to the pole of your magnet and the poles are attracted to each other, you know that the pole is a south pole. 4. How can we see a magnet’s magnetic field if it’s invisible? We can see the magnetic field of a magnet by placing iron filings above or below the magnet and watching them spread into lines of force. 5. Explain how magnetism is related to electricity. © Alyssa Teaches An electric current can create a magnetic field (i.e., electromagnets) and a moving magnetic field can produce an electric current (i.e., by moving a magnet through a coil of wire). 6. Complete the Venn diagram. permanent magnet electromagnet - always magnetic - creates its own magnetic field - magnetism can be turned off - has the ability to be magnetic - needs electricity to be magnetic 7. Draw and label a working electromagnet. Drawings will vary, but should include a closed circuit comprised of an iron object, such as a nail, a coiled wire around it, and a battery. 8. How can you change the strength of an electromagnet? You can increase or decrease the number of turns in the coiled wire. 9. What are some uses of electromagnets? Electromagnets are used to move heavy pieces of metal (like cars at a junkyard), and in household objects like door bells and TVs. You’d use an electromagnet any time that you want to be able to turn the magnetism on and off. © Alyssa Teaches 10.When might you want to use an electromagnet instead of a permanent magnet?
