Objectives
1. Describe the forces between two permanent
magnets.
2. Sketch the magnetic field of a single permanent
magnet.
3. Predict the direction of the force on a magnet
placed in a given magnetic field.
4. Explain why ferromagnetic materials always
attract magnets of either pole.
5. Describe the theory behind why a compass
works.
6. Use a compass to find the direction of true north.
When paramagnetic
materials are placed in a
magnetic field, the atoms
align so that the material
is weakly magnetic.
