MAGNETIC POLES • Pole- a place on a magnet where the magnetism is the strongest Magnets have 2 Poles North & South They repel and attract. Like poles repel. Opposite poles attract. North poles attract to South poles. North poles repel North poles.
COMPASS • A small magnet where the magnetism is the strongest • Always points NORTH
ELECTROMAGNET • Electromagnets are made by sending electricity through a wire coil wrapped around an iron rod. • The basic idea behind an electromagnet is extremely simple: By running electric current through a wire, you can create a magnetic field • They are used in telephones, doorbells or to lift heavy iron and steel.
Temporary magnets are objects that can be magnetized by a magnetic source but lose their power after the source is removed. This happens when a paperclip becomes magnetic as it touches a permanent magnet. Permanent magnets keep their magnetism Temporary vs. Permanent
