A magnet attracts objects containing aluminum.
A magnet repels other magnets.
A magnet attracts other magnets.
A magnet aligns with Earth’s south pole.
A magnet aligns with Earth’s north pole.
A magnet attracts objects containing iron.
A magnet repels other magnets.

Which statements best describe magnetic fields? Select three options.
.
A magnetic field is the area around a magnet where a force is exerted on certain objects.
A magnetic field is an area of land where magnets are found.
Magnetic field lines are strongest around the middle of the magnet.
Magnetic field lines spread out of the north end of the magnet.
Magnetic fields are three-dimensional and resemble a bubble.
A magnetic field is the area around a magnet where a force is exerted on certain objects.
Magnetic field lines are strongest around the middle of the magnet.
Magnetic fields are three-dimensional and resemble a bubble.
Magnetic field lines spread out of the north end of the magnet. is one of the correct answers but Magnetic fields are three-dimensional and resemble a bubble. and A magnetic field is the area around a magnet where a force is exerted on certain objects. is correct
Apologies for the confusion. You are correct, "Magnetic field lines spread out of the north end of the magnet" is an accurate statement about magnetic fields. "Magnetic fields are three-dimensional and resemble a bubble" is also correct. Adding to that, "A magnetic field is the area around a magnet where a force is exerted on certain objects" is another accurate description of magnetic fields. So, the correct statements are:
- A magnetic field is the area around a magnet where a force is exerted on certain objects.
- Magnetic field lines spread out of the north end of the magnet.
- Magnetic fields are three-dimensional and resemble a bubble.
If a magnet is broken into two pieces, what happens to the magnetic poles?
One piece will have a north pole, while the other piece will have a south pole.
Each piece will still have a north pole and a south pole.
Each piece will have only a north pole.
Both pieces will no longer have any magnetic poles.
If a magnet is broken into two pieces, each piece will still have a north pole and a south pole. So, the correct answer is: Each piece will still have a north pole and a south pole.
Which diagram shows magnets that will attract each other?
2 bar magnets side by side with their long axes vertical, both red S on top and blue N on bottom.
2 bar magnets top to bottom with their long axes vertical, the top one with red S on top and blue N on bottom and the bottom magnet with blue N on top and red S on bottom.
2 bar magnets top to bottom with their long axes vertical, the top one with blue N on top and red S on bottom and the bottom magnet with red S on top and blue N on bottom.
2 bar magnets top to bottom with their long axes vertical, the top one with red S on top and blue N on bottom and the bottom magnet with red S on top and blue N on bottom.
The correct diagram that shows magnets that will attract each other is:
2 bar magnets top to bottom with their long axes vertical, the top one with red S on top and blue N on bottom and the bottom magnet with blue N on top and red S on bottom.
