Magnets and magnetic fields


Specification reference:
 P.7.1 Permanent and induced magnetism, magnetic forces and fields

Aims
In this exercise students will cover the nature and behaviour of magnets and
magnetism. Students will answer questions relating to magnetic fields and the
nature of permanent and induced magnetism. They will also look at the uses of
magnetism in the everyday world and the way in which magnetism provided
evidence for scientists about how the Earth has changed over many thousands
of years.

Learning outcomes
After completing this activity, students should be able to:
 state the names of the magnetic poles
 label the magnetic field that is produced around various magnetic materials
 describe how magnets behave and link this to magnetic field lines
 describe the difference between permanent and induced magnetism
 apply an understanding of magnetism to ideas about the Earth
 explain why magnetic materials, for example, iron or nickel, can be picked up
by a magnet.

Teaching notes
This activity can be deployed to diagnose students’ understanding of the key
material relating to the area of magnets and magnetic fields. The questions are
differentiated by their level of demand, with question 1 focusing on grade 2
material, and subsequent questions allowing access to content and concepts that
students will need to successfully address if they are to achieve grades 5 to 8.
The demand of the questions increases as students go through the exercise.
This sheet may be used for assessing and consolidating the main body of work
covered in lessons, as extension material, as part of a plenary or as part of
homework and independent study.

Answers to questions
1 repel (1), attract (1), North (1), South (1), compass (1) (5 marks)

2 The N pole will repel the N pole (1) and attract the S pole (1) until the magnets
rotate and then stick together (1). (3 marks)

direction of field lines from N to S (1). (3 marks)

b Shape of the field around the poles (1), shape of field between poles (1),
direction of field lines from N to S (1). (3 marks)

5 a the magnet is the permanent magnet (1) and the opposite pole has been
induced in the paper clip by the magnet (1) (2 marks)
b the permanent magnet is from the magnetic field of the magnet inside the
motor (1) and the temporary magnetism is around the coil wire, present
only when a current is flowing in it (1) (2 marks)
c the permanent magnet is from the magnet inside the bell (1) the temporary
magnetism is in the circuit when the switch is pressed and the current
flows (1) (2 marks)
d The temporary magnetism is the field around the iron core when a current
flows in it (1) and the induced magnetism is found where the
electromagnet passes over a magnetic material such as iron (1) (2 marks)
e The Earth has a permanent magnetic field due to the circulation of
magnetic materials inside its core (1) (1 mark)

the ends of a conductor that cuts through it (e.g., aircraft wings). (1 mark)
