magnetic field - a physical field produced by a magnetic object
North/South - labels for two different magnetic characteristics that create the magnetic forces.
The law of magnetic forces:
- Opposites attract
- Similar repel
ferromagnetic metals - a metal with different elements mixed together (e.g. iron, nickel, and cobalt). Has an atomic structure which makes them strongly magnetic.
domain theory of magnets - 'smaller magnets' that make up magnetic objects
Picture: The direction of the dipoles are based on being magnetized by another magnet
Domain theory - all large magnets are made up of small, rotatable magnets = dipoles
if the dipoles line up, then a small magnetic domain is produced.
LOLWAT: the North pole is actually 'south', since the North points in the direction of the North pole.
