What do like poles do? — They repel each other. What do unlike poles do? — They attract each other. Name four magnetic materials. — Iron, steel, nickel, cobalt. Define a magnetic field. — Region where a magnet or magnetic material feels a force. Direction of field lines outside a magnet? — From north pole to south pole. Where is a magnet's field strongest? — Where the field lines are closest, at the poles. What is a compass needle? — A small magnet free to turn. Define an electromagnet. — A coil carrying current, usually on an iron core. Name three ways to strengthen an electromagnet. — More turns, more current, iron core.
