magnet
an object that produces a magnetic field
Electromagnet
a magnet created by wrapping a conductive wire around an iron core.
Polarity
Poles are located at the ends of a bar magnet and on top and bottom of a donut magnet. Each magnet
has a North and South Pole.
Like Poles
Repel or move away from each other.
Unlike Poles
Unlike Poles attract each other.
Attraction
magnets and electromagnets attract each other with unlike poles.
repulsion
magnets and electromagnets can repel each other if the like poles are brought together
Strength
greatest at its poles. Strength can be measured by counting the number of objects the magnet
can pick up
insulators of Electricity
does not allow electricity to flow through them or from them
Conductor of Electricity
electrons can move freely and allow flow of electricity. Example: metal wire or nail
