bar magnet.

The drawing shows only a few of these lines. A practical magnet has many more.

The lines near the magnet’s poles have the highest density (are closest together), so the magnetic force

is strongest here.

Midway between the poles, the lines are farthest apart, so the magnetic force here is

a. strongest.

b. weakest.

c. independent of the distance from the poles.

The lines of force for a horseshoe magnet are strongest where the poles are closest to each other.

Weaker lines of force radiate outward between the poles.

Additional weaker lines travel completely around the outside of the magnet’s shape.

Their small size and weight and their magnetic properties allow a magnet to manipulate them easily.

Use the compass to identify the poles of both magnets. Which pole of each bar magnet

attracts the north pole (colored end) of the compass needle?

a. north

b. south

Magnetism


Hold one magnet in each hand, and slowly move the south pole of one magnet toward the

north pole of the other.

Can you feel a force acting on the magnets?

a. yes

b. no

What type of force is present?

a. attractive

b. repulsive

Move the magnets apart, and reverse one magnet so that the two north poles are facing

each other. Again move the magnets together.

What type of force do you feel now?

a. attractive

b. repulsive

c. none

What type of force would you feel if you brought the two south poles together?

a. attractive

b. repulsive

c. none

Remove the magnets, and place them in the remaining 2 clips as shown. Make sure the 2

south poles are facing each other.

What type of force is shown between the 2 south poles?

a. attractive

b. repulsive

a. The same type of force exists between similar poles and opposite poles.

b. The type of force between magnets depends on whether the adjacent poles are similar or

opposite.
