What do you you already know about magnetism?
Magnetism has a field, and that it is produced by the motion of an electric charge.
How do you think a magnet "get's" magnetized?
I think that a magnet get's magnetized when they have a sort of attraction.
Do you think that if you chopped a magnet down into it's smallest possible piece it would still be a magnet, why or why not?
Yes, this is because a magnet will always be a magnet. Maybe the forces may diminish to the smallest point possible because of the size, but there will still be magnetism involved.
Task 2:
What is a permanent magnet? What is it made of?
A permanent magnet is a magnets that not in any way is absent of its magnetic field. This are considered permanent magnets because of the magnets realm. Magnet are made out of ferromagnetic material which are the only substances able to conceive magnets. When a condition causes the separate realms on a ferromagnetic material to be all aligned in the equivalent order. This magnet is made of of heated ferromagnetic material.
What is a temporary magnet? How it is made?
A temporary magnet is a magnet that operates as a permanent magnet when in reach of a stable magnetic field. But dissimilar to other permanent magnets, these magnets are in lost of magnetism when the field dissipates. This magnets are made similar to permanent magnets but fields can be constituted by slathering against a stronger magnet. But this will eventually fade out.
What is an electromagnet? How is it made?
Electromagnets are very strong magnets which are created by inserting a metal core inside a coil of wire transmitting an electric current. A magnetic field is produced because of the electrical current.
What is electromagnetic induction?
An electromagnetic induction is when a current is composed in a conductor when moved through a magnetic field. The magnetic lines are applying a force on the free electron which is causing them all to move. The induction is when there is no physical connection between the conductor and the magnet.
How is a magnet used in the generation of electricity?
Magnets are used in the generation of electricity because when an electric current goes through a wire, ot creates an magnetic force field which helps create electricity.
