Magnetic Poles
What you need to know
Identify the specific poles of a magnet as the precise locations where magnetic forces manifest strongest.
Describe the non-contact forces produced when two magnets are brought in proximity, identifying that like poles repel while unlike poles attract.
Differentiate thoroughly between a permanent magnet (capable of generating its own magnetic field) and an induced magnet (a susceptible material adopting magnetism only when positioned within a magnetic field).
Explain that induced magnetism universally results in an attractive force and dissipates rapidly upon removal from the magnetic field.
