Magnets

Describe the precise forces of attraction and repulsion acting between unlike and like poles of permanent magnets.

Differentiate clearly between the physical properties of permanent magnets and induced magnets.

Identify the poles of a magnet strictly as the specific places where magnetic forces are at their absolute strongest.

Describe magnetic attraction and repulsion as clear, observable examples of non-contact physical forces exerting influence over distance.

Understand that a permanent magnet continually produces its own intrinsic magnetic field regardless of external conditions.

Define an induced magnet as a normally non-magnetic material that temporarily becomes highly magnetic exclusively when placed within an external magnetic field.

Explain the rule that induced magnetism universally results in a force of physical attraction towards the source magnet.

State that an induced magnet will rapidly lose most or all of its acquired magnetism once entirely removed from the external magnetic field.
