🧲Magnets create a magnetic field that influences the space around them.
🌐Magnetic field lines form closed loops that run around and through magnets.
🔁Electric currents generate magnetic fields perpendicular to the current direction.
💡Magnetizing a piece of iron aligns its tiny atomic magnets, creating a magnet.
🧭The Earth's magnetic field plays a role in aligning compass needles.
How do magnets create a magnetic field?
—Magnets have tiny compass needles called domains that align to produce a magnetic field.
What is the relationship between electric currents and magnetic fields?
—Electric currents generate magnetic fields that are perpendicular to the current direction.
How are magnets made?
—Magnets are made by aligning the domains of a piece of iron using a magnetic field or by stroking it with a magnet.
Why do magnets attract and repel?
—Magnets attract and repel each other due to the alignment of their atomic magnets and the interaction of their magnetic fields.
What role does the Earth's magnetic field play in compass needles?
—The Earth's magnetic field aligns compass needles, allowing them to point towards the Earth's magnetic poles.
