Science - Magnets/Electromagnets

l

A device that shows direction relative to the Earth's magnetic poles, using a magnetized needle that aligns itself with the magnetic field. (A magnetic needle that points north due to Earth's magnetic field. )

Compass

The regions of a magnet where the magnetic force is strongest. (Opposite and alike)

Poles

Subatomic particles with a negative charge that orbit the nucleus of an atom and are responsible for electricity and magnetism.

Electrons

A material that can be magnetized and exhibits strong magnetic properties, such as iron, cobalt, and nickel.

Ferromagnetic

Field(s)

The area around a magnet where magnetic forces can be detected, influencing other magnets or magnetic materials.

The flow of electric charge, typically carried by electrons, through a conductor such as a wire.

Current

Oscillations that transfer energy through space or a medium, characterized by frequency and amplitude.

Waves
