Magnetic force
Magnet is an object that attracts iron and other materials
that have magnetic ability similar to iron
Magnetic force is anon contacting force means that the force
applied without being in contact with object
Repel means two magnets away from each other
Attract means get close to each other
Q: which place on the magnet that the force is strong?
The magnet has two poles the s pole and the South Pole
The magnetism is strong at the poles while is weak at the
middle of the magnet
Magnetic pole is a place where the force of a magnet
applies is strongest.
Shapes
*We have three shapes of the magnet
Bar shaped, U shaped, and round
shaped magnets
*If we cut the magnet into two halves each have will have
North Pole and South Pole.
Magnetic fields it is an invisible
area around the magnet
The iron filings form a pattern of curved lines called
magnetic field lines.
Compasses
The needle of the compass is a kind of a magnet it has north
and south poles if the compass is placed in any magnetic
field it will line up with the magnetic field lines
Magnetic potential energy
Is a stored energy between two magnets that interacted
together ( repel each other or attract each other)
Magnetic potential energy in both cases are high repelling
and attracting.
