I. Characteristics of Magnets Magnetism I. Characteristics of Magnets Magnetism Magnetic poles Magnetic forces Magnetic field Magnetic domain 1
A. Magnetism Magnetism force of attraction or repulsion between unlike or like poles due to the arrangement of electrons closely related to electricity
B. Magnetic Poles Magnetic Poles- parts of the magnet where the magnetic effects are strongest like poles repel unlike poles attract a broken magnet creates new poles
C. Magnetic Forces Magnetic force The force of repulsion or attraction between the poles of magnets When magnets are close to each other they will either pull together or push apart
D. Magnetic Field Magnetic Field area around a magnet where magnetic forces act field lines show direction of field (NS)
E. Magnetic Domain Magnetic Domain groups of atoms with aligned magnetic poles domain in a magnetized object, domains are all aligned
