| magnet | any material that attracts iron or materials containing iron |
| magnetic pole | one or two points on a magnet that have opposing magnetic qualities |
| magnetic force | the force of attraction or repulsion generated by moving or spinning electric charges |
| magnetic field | a region where a magnetic force can be detected |
| temporary magnet | made from materials that are easy to magnetize but lose magnetism easily |
| permanent magnets | difficult to magnetize but keep magnetic properties longer |
| four types of magnets | ferro, electro, temporary and permanent |
| Law of Electric Charges | Law that states that like charges repel and opposite charges attract |
| electric force | force of attraction or repulsion on a charged particle that is due to an electric field |
| electric field | the space around a charged object in which another charged object experiences an electric force |
| Charging by friction | when electrons are wiped from one object to another |
| Charging by conduction | when electrons move from one object to another through direct contact |
| Charging by induction | when particles are rearranged with direct contact of a charged object |
| electrical conductor | material in which charges move quickly |
| electrical insulator | material in which charges cannot move easily |
| electric discharge | the release of electricity stored in a souce |
