Physical Science Concepts in Action

AB
magnetic forcethe force a magnet exerts on another magnet, on iron or a similar metal, or on moving charges
magnetic poleregions where the magnet's force is strongest
magnetic fieldsurrounds a magnet and can exert magnetic forces
magnetospherethe area surrounding Earth that is influenced by the magnetic field
magnetic domaina region that has a very large number of atoms with aligned magnetic fields
ferromagnetic materialmaterial that can be magnetized because it contains magnetic domains, ex: iron
electromagnetic forcethe electricity and magnetism which are different aspects of a single force
solenoida coil of current-carrying wire that produces a magnetic field
electromagneta solenoid with a ferromagnetic core
electric motora device that uses an electromagnet to turn an axle
electromagnetic inductionthe process of generating a current by moving an electrical conductor relative to a magnetic field
generatora device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy by rotating a coil of wire in a magnetic field
