undefined, object
copy deck
static
not moving, but eventurally does move.
magnetic field
the invisible force that loops between the poles of a magnet due to the arrangement of charges.
poles
the strongest part of the magnets
insulators
are material that do not become charge easily. plastic, rubber, wood, glass.
static electricity
The imbalance of positive or negative charges between 2 objects.
electric current
The flow of an electric charge through a material.
series circuit
electric charge can flow only in one path, one direction around asingle loop and recived the same amount of electricity.
2 objects with the same charge
push away, or repel each other.
circuit
loop
opposite charge
positive and negative pull toward each other.
brakes in paralle circuit
does not stop the charge from flowing.
positive electric field attracts
negative charges and pushes away positive charges.
electricity and magnetism
is the result of charged paticles moving.
static electricity stays
in one place.
how do magnets work?
each magnet has an invisible field arount it.
An electric current
travels quickly and invisible.
magnet
anything that attaracts other things made of iron,steel, certain materials.
Antartica
located in the magnetic south pole.
the flow of electric charge is not the
same in all materials.
aurora
caused by charged particle sfrom the sun being attract to Earth poles.
electromagnet
is the coil of wire with many loops through which an electric current passes.
atoms
tiny building blocks of everything.
electric force
pull or push between objects that have a different charge.
charge object
attract something that have no charge.
why earth is like a magnet?
Earth outer core is made of iron as Earth rotates electric currents flow to create a magnetic field.
different amount of electrical current
parallel circuit
why compass needle alwasys move to north south?
because Earth behaves like a large magnet.
attract each other
north pole one one magnet and the south pole on another magnet.
parallel circuit
2 or more paths for the electric charge to flow.how the charge flow through each little loop does not affect the flow of charges.
electric current
is electric charge in motion
magnetic poles
north seeking and south seeking
Canada
the magnetic north pole
if you break a magnet into 2
2magnets
electric field
space around electrically charged objects. It invisible. Its strongest close to the charge object.
same amount of electrical current
simple circiut
resistance
a quality of an object which means that electric current cannot flow easily through it.
particles have 3 types of charges:
positive, negative and neutral
conductors
copper wire , silver are excelent conductors of electric charge.
how you can make the electromagnet strongest?
1. increasing the amount of current running through the wire.2.increase the number of coil,3magnetic core larger.
what have a huge magnetic field?
the Earth.
Magnetism
force that acts on moving electric charge and magnetic material that are near a magnet.
scientist invent the circuits to study
how electricity moves.
closed circuit
has no breaks and allows an elctric current to move through it.
