What does the word polar mean?

Polar refers to the north and south poles. The poles are also the centers of the magnetic field that is around the Earth.


What is field specific vocabulary?

Field specific vocabulary refers to the diction that is specific to a certain field. Professionals in these fields use these types of words, so unless someone is in that field or are well acquainted with it, they may not understand these words. An example is the scientific medical terms used to define diseases, anatomy, symptoms, and more in medicine.


Do you use magnetic metals in everyday life?

There are two types of magnetic metals, those that are permanently magnetic, and those that become magnetic as a result of an electrical field, i.e. electro-magnets. * Some games such as travel chess have small magnets in the bases of the pieces, to hold them to the metal board. * Cupboard 'catches' can be magnetic. They close on contact, but can easily be released by pulling the door. * Some necklaces have a magnetic fastener. * Magnets are used to pick up magnetic items such as staples, paper clips, pins, * Small magnetic blocks are used to store paper clips on a desk. * Credit and ATM/cash cards have a magnetic strip on one side. It is magnetic because it contains magnetic metal powder in the plastic * Some screwdrivers are magnetized, to hold the screw prior to screwing the screw into wood or other material. * Cathode ray televisions and computer monitors use an electromagnet to direct electrons/pictures to the screen. * VHS tapes and common audio cassettes use magnetic tape, a thin plastic strip coated with a thin layer of magnetic powder in film form. * In computers, floppy disks and hard disks record data on a thin magnetic coating. * Speakers and Microphones have permanent magnets as part of their construction. * Electric motors and generators have combinations of electromagnets and permanent magnets * Refrigerator magnets use magnetic metal to make them stick to the refrigerator. * A manual compass uses a magnetized needle to indicate magnetic North.

Define permanant magnet?

A permanent magnet is a material that retains its magnetic properties without the need for an external magnetic field. These magnets have their own persistent magnetic field and can attract or repel other objects with magnetic properties. Common examples include fridge magnets and magnets used in speakers.


Do magnetic field lines close together indicate a weaker magnetic field?

No, magnetic field lines close together indicate a stronger magnetic field, while magnetic field lines farther apart indicate a weaker magnetic field. The density of field lines represents the strength of the magnetic field in that region.


What is the relationship between magnetic field strength and distance in a magnetic field?

The relationship between magnetic field strength and distance in a magnetic field is inversely proportional. This means that as the distance from the source of the magnetic field increases, the strength of the magnetic field decreases.


In what part of the magnetic field are the magnetic field lines closet together?

Magnetic field lines are closest together at the poles of a magnet, where the magnetic field is strongest. This is where the magnetic force is most concentrated.


Does Ceres have a magnetic field?

No, Ceres does not have a magnetic field around it.


How does a ring magnet interact with the magnetic field surrounding it?

A ring magnet interacts with the magnetic field surrounding it by creating a magnetic field of its own. This magnetic field interacts with the external magnetic field, causing attraction or repulsion depending on the alignment of the magnetic poles.


What three features do magnetic field lines show?

Magnetic field lines show the direction of the magnetic field, the magnitude of the magnetic field (closeness of the lines), and the shape of the magnetic field around a magnet or current-carrying wire.


What is the direction of movement in a magnetic field?

In a magnetic field, the direction of movement is determined by the interaction between the magnetic field and the magnetic properties of the object or particle. The movement can be influenced by the polarity of the magnetic field and the orientation of the object's magnetic properties.


At what rate is the magnetic field changing?

The rate at which the magnetic field is changing is known as the magnetic field's rate of change.


Define intensity of magnetization?

Intensity of magnetization is a measure of the magnetic moment per unit volume of a material when it is placed in a magnetic field. It quantifies the extent to which a material can become magnetized in response to an external magnetic field.
