Magnetic Fields - Part 2

They attract (pull) each other.

They repel (push) each other.

They do not interact.

They align and become a single magnet.

Every magnet has a pole.

Opposite poles repel each other.

Like poles attract each other.

Every magnet has two poles- a north and a south.

The geographic poles are fixed locations, while the magnetic poles shift over time due to changes in Earth's core.

The magnetic poles are located exactly at the same points as the geographic poles.

The geographic poles are determined by Earth's magnetic field, while the magnetic poles are fixed locations on the surface of the Earth.

The magnetic north pole is near the geographic south pole. The magnetic south pole is near the geographic north pole.

Size and shape

How aligned the domains are

The color

The type of material it is made from

You would create a single stronger magnet on one side.

Each half would become a magnet with its own north and south poles.

The magnetic field would disappear.

The domains would not be aligned and would scatter randomly.

The temperature of the magnets.

The material from which the magnets are made.

The stronger magnet will attract the weaker magnet with a stronger force.

The weaker magnet will attract the stronger magnet with a stronger force.

Both magnets will repel each other equally.

The magnets will cancel each other other and have not effect on each other.

The magnetic field lines point outward from both poles.

The magnetic field lines form closed loops between the poles.

The magnetic field lines do not connect the poles.

The magnetic field lines point inward at both poles.
