- Q1What do you call the force that pulls certain metals towards magnets?FrictionMagnetismGravityElectricity30s
- Q2What happens when you put two magnets with the same poles together?They become stronger.They break apart.They repel each other.They attract each other.30s
- Q3Which material is commonly attracted to magnets?IronGlassPlasticWood30s
- Q4What do we call the area around a magnet where magnetic forces can be detected?Electric fieldSound fieldMagnetic fieldGravity field30s
- Q5What is the main difference between a permanent magnet and a temporary magnet?A permanent magnet is weaker than a temporary magnet.A temporary magnet is made of wood.A permanent magnet can be turned on and off.A permanent magnet keeps its magnetism, while a temporary magnet loses it.30s
- Q6What do you call the two ends of a magnet?SidesEdgesPolesFaces30s
- Q7If you cut a magnet in half, what happens to the new pieces?One piece becomes magnetic and the other does not.The pieces lose all their magnetism.Both pieces turn into non-magnetic materials.Each piece becomes a smaller magnet with its own north and south poles.30s
- Q8What do you call materials that are NOT attracted to magnets?Non-magnetic materialsElectromagnetic materialsFerromagnetic materialsMagnetic materials30s
- Q9What is generated when you run an electrical current through a wire?Light wavesSound wavesHeat wavesMagnetic field30s
- Q10
Gavin is doing an experiment on magnetism. He observes that a piece of paper is not pulled toward a magnet. He wonders why a magnet is able to stick to paper on a magnetic refrigerator. Which statement BEST explains why this can happen?
The paper contains iron, nickel, and cobalt.
The magnets repels the paper.
The paper has been ribbed many times with a magnet,
The magnet is attracted to the refrigerator metal through the paper.
