This interactive quiz is paired with an online simulation for understanding of basic magnetism concepts, including magnetic attraction and repulsion, magnetic field lines and ferromagnetic materials. Complete this quiz while engaging with the simulation.
Will the nickel be attracted to the bar magnet during the simulation?
Which of the following do you think are magnetic items?
What is the north pole of a magnet attracted to?
Which material is ferromagnetic?
What pattern do iron filings form around a magnet?
What happens when two like poles of a magnet are brought close together?
What are ferromagnetic materials?
What determines if magnets will attract or repel each other?
Drag two bar magnets onto the paper and press Play. Then click Reset. Change one of the magnets (either from N-S to S-N, or vice-versa). Click Play again.
